Many companies now incorporate blended learning into their corporate training strategies. Blended learning combines classroom training and e-learning. This approach enables us to design training more efficiently and diversify it, thereby achieving our training goals more quickly. Travel expenses arise for both participants and trainers during physical classroom sessions. Companies often cover accommodation and other costs, making this training costly.
A virtual classroom offers an ideal alternative to avoid these costs while providing additional benefits. Virtual classrooms have become a standalone solution in vocational training. Many companies benefit from real-time communication features, including text chat, file sharing, audio, and video broadcasts.

How does a virtual classroom work in LMS?
Whether a time-critical compliance training, a descriptive product demonstration, or a coordination requiring a lot of interaction – a virtual classroom integrated into the imc Learning Suite enables targeted allocation of online sessions to relevant users. Regardless of where the learners are or which device they have at hand, they can directly connect to a live session in the integrated virtual classroom with a mouse click in the imc Learning Suite.
-
Online classroom training is also supported through text chat, in addition to audio and video broadcasts via a webcam, microphone, and headphones.
-
Training materials using this approach appear lively and provide various options to the trainer to design interactive collaboration with learners.
-
Product innovations can be demonstrated live and in real-time, and queries can be addressed immediately. Documents and content can be shared, collaborative work can be performed on a virtual whiteboard or on screen, live surveys can be conducted with immediate voting options, and much more.
-
For language training, for example, nothing beats having a face-to-face lesson with a native speaker.
-
Trainings can be conveniently and easily recorded in the virtual classroom, allowing participants who could not attend a particular training session to access the recording at their convenience to catch up.
-
Training in virtual classrooms becomes a fundamental component of consistent training concepts within the imc Learning Suite.
-
It is possible to define the target group for classroom training or virtual classroom meetings, both of which can be didactically integrated into a course’s training syllabus.
-
Live sessions can be followed by web-based training (WBT) or assessments.
-
Learners benefit from enhanced interaction and cooperation during training, as well as increased efficiency.
Virtual classrooms now make this possible without you having to leave the comfort of your own home. Regardless of the chosen system, all users benefit from seamless integration with the imc Learning Suite, a leading Learning Management System.
