Online Learning Environment, handy tool for teachers

One of the concern for every teacher to go online is the amount of flexibility and utilities in traditional classroom delivery. Online learning provides you the host of utilities to deliver as effective class as you can if not better. Lets us see the features of Online Learning Environment.
It provides you presentation space where you can present your contents in any media format say word, adobe, excel worksheets, power point presentations, image browsers, Video players... just to name few. Whiteboard is a feature where you has a black/white board online. You can use multiple colours, draw, write and even you can ask learners to participate from where ever they are. Truly collaborative medium. You can erase others contributions merge print and so on... even more flexibility then our traditional board.

Other features like video windows, chat facility, document shearing application shearing, desktop shearing, poll facility, Emotional icons for effective easy and quick communication. Audio chat is also integrated. I am sure you don't need anything more then this. You have challange in operating this classroom you can ask for moderator and make you life easy.

I am convinced that this classroom provides me great feature rich experience. The only issue is about comfort level and that come by practice. So start looking at them using them. You have many of them available like CISCO CLE, Apple Learning environment, DIMDIM, Interwise, Blackboard ... So let set go and get the grand experience of online learning environments.
