Virtual Classroom & University
Virtual classrooms simulate live classrooms online for synchronous learning. Lessons allow real-time interaction between educators and learners who may be in different locations. Virtual classrooms provide flexibility and accessibility through technologies like videoconferencing, digital whiteboards, and instant messaging. They offer educational continuity when physical classrooms are not possible.
Virtual universities provide higher education entirely or partially online to increase access for students who cannot attend campus due to distance or scheduling. They connect learners and instructors through computer networks and eliminate geographical boundaries. Early examples include the Open University of the UK and experiments in the 1980s-90s to conduct international online classes, developing the concept of a global virtual university.

Offline solutions for online learning eLA 2014
This document discusses using offline solutions for online and blended learning in universities in sub-Saharan Africa. It describes a project that aimed to build capacity for online course design and delivery using a virtual learning environment (VLE) like Moodle. However, many universities in the region faced issues like unreliable internet access. Possible solutions explored included portable versions of Moodle called Poodle that allowed offline access to full courses on USB drives. While this helped with skills development and access, internet was still needed for communication and interaction. Synchronization between online and offline versions also needed improvement. Overall, offline VLEs showed potential but also challenges that institutions would need to address through support and clear planning.
Neural Network Model for Predicting Students' Achievement in Blended Courses ...
Educator’s knowledge about the likely students’ achievement in blended courses prior to sitting for
examinations provides room for early intervention on students’ learning process, especially to those at risk.
Unfortunately, Leaning Management Systems (LMSs), Moodle in particular lacks an environment to assist
educators access such knowledge from time to time before undertaking their examinations. This raised the
need to propose a model, of which from time to time would be providing the likely students’ achievement
based on activities in Moodle and previous achievement, taking a case of postgraduate programmes at the
University of Dar es Salaam.
This study applied artificial neural networks in building a prediction model. Simulations were conducted in
Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) utilizing seventy eight instances (78) of students’ logs of three blended
courses extracted from Moodle for 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 academic years.
Mean Square Error (MSE) and Coefficient of Determination (R
2
) performance metrics were used to find
the best prediction model considering ten possible models. The study revealed a model with architecture of
4:10:1 trained with Bayesian Regularization (BR) to be the best model resulting to least MSE of 0.0170 and
high R
2
of 0.93 on training. During testing, the model successfully predicted 78% of the students’
achievement with risk and pass status.
Online Learning Conveniences From Students’ Perception: A Case Study in Unive...
ABSTARCT : Convenience is one aspect that should be considered in an online learning environment. Without convenience it is very impossible to implement successfully online learning particularly in higher learning institution. The purpose of this study was to explore the online learning conveniences from students’ perception. A cohort of 61 science physics students from School of Science and Technology (SST) and 41 pre-service science teachers from the School of Education and Social Development (SESD) of Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia comprised the sample. The course involved is Modern Physics which is compulsory. Both groups were supported via an online learning environment, which acted as the main medium for learning. Participants’ perception on conveniences was recorded through an open-ended questionnaire and focus group interview. The output of these qualitative data can be categorised into several themes, as in general they felt that learning through online is really convenient and ease; and they were also using online to search for information. Somehow there were also negative feedback where they felt not satisfied with the Internet coverage. In additional the SESD’s student stressed that their communication skills were enhanced.

Perspectives of online and classroom learning ppt
The document discusses perspectives on online and classroom learning. It notes that while online learning provides flexibility and saves time and money by avoiding travel, it lacks face-to-face interaction and access to student facilities. Classroom learning allows for direct discussion and accessing on-campus resources but requires travel and adherence to schedules. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. The document concludes that technological advances can help integrate the strengths of both while avoiding their weaknesses, and that online education overcomes restrictions for many students.
Learning Managment System
