Virtual Classes
What are Virtual Classes?
Virtual classes include online teaching and learning environments where teachers and students can engage and interact with one another and work in groups.
It is like a live class, but everyone is in a different location.
What Do You Need?
- A computer and an internet connection.
- Computer must have audio and microphone access; camera access is a plus but not required.
- In case a student does not have internet or a computer, it is possible to join a class by phone.
- Pedagogical material/Textbooks: All textbook classes include a .pdf version and audio files on the class platform. Literature classes will use E-books or paper versions when available. Details are provided in the class description.
If you prefer to work with a regular book, (paper version), you can purchase the books here and we will arrange pick-up at our alliance address.
How will the class work?
We are working with Zoom, a virtual video conferencing provider.
The teacher will email you an invitation with a link to join the meeting.
For your first connection, try to connect 10 minutes in advance if you need to test the computer audio or the connection itself.
Have your book next to you with a notebook or paper and pen for notes.
Wait for the teacher to open the class.
You will be able to see and interact with the teacher and other participants, you will be able to follow the lesson on your screen, and you will also have notes from the teacher on the screen.
A whiteboard is available if the teacher wants to use this tool for writing exercises.
It allows a safe sharing and communication space, which is a plus in case a class is missed.
