Abstract

As of 2020, with the pandemic occurring worldwide, face-to-face learning activities at all levels, from preschool to higher education, have been moved to online environments. The importance of virtual classes has become more evident when these courses are conducted synchronously or asynchronously. This chapter mentions the roles of virtual classrooms in effectively executing online learning activities. The features of virtual classrooms in the context of teacher, student, and content are included. In this context, we examined widely used virtual classroom platforms such as Adobe Connect, BigBlueButton, Moodle, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, OpenMeetings, Google Meet, Electa, ClassDojo, WizIQ, and Kahoot. These platforms have many standard features, such as video conferencing, screen sharing, image sharing, presentation features, voice and text chat, document sharing, classroom management, lesson planning, and alternative measurement and evaluation tools.
