What is a Virtual Classroom in MS Teams

A Virtual Classroom is an innovative approach to taking part in a course, event or learning group remotely using digital technology.  It enables you to listen and interact with the trainer and other learners.

Do you need any special equipment?

To take part in one of our Virtual Classrooms, you need:

• A laptop, PC or tablet.
• A web cam and a microphone - these are essential for you to engage with the learning.  If you don't have them, you will not be able to take part and we will need to ask you to leave.
• You will have the choice to use a web version of MS Teams or you can download the application.
• MS Teams will provide the video conferencing technology for the Virtual Classroom and ASC LeadER will provide any resources and a link to join the Virtual Classroom.
