Abstract :
Virtual Classroom is an advance learning tools that allows students to communicate with instructors in real-time over the network. There are various benefits using virtual classroom such as optimized cost, distance learning, and flexibility which able to access material anytime anywhere. However the difficulty of interaction between instructor and student is a clear disadvantage of current online learning system. In this paper, we present new approach of online learning called web-based interactive virtual classroom that allow students and instructors to communicate with multiple face-to-face video conferences. Equipped with various systems that general virtual classroom must have including presentation tools, online whiteboard, real-time video and screen sharing. The application also provides more with outstanding interactive features such as quiz system, group system and can be extendable. Experimental results reveal our software work perfectly and provide enough functionality. The integration between improved e-learning and virtual classroom is highly introduced in our final outcome.
