Virtual Classroom Solution goes Social

07 Marzec 2013

The new live online training portal, CloudRooms, from Redtray Solutions, is upgrading its new virtual classroom solution and going social.

 

The new social learning features in CloudRooms will make it possible for learners to rate their courses, post reviews of the training they've attended, share links to useful training materials available on the portal, ’Like‘ training modules in the Facebook style, and connect with each other through their message boards on the portal. These changes will make it easier for learners to communicate with each other, share their knowledge, opinions and also boost each other's motivation to training.

 

Last year, Cloud Rooms delivered more than 1800 live online training sessions. The interactive online classes were run by live trainers, and their popularity is what sparked the idea to make the portal more social learning-friendly.

Using Computers in Class: An Introduction for Teachers

04 Marzec 2013

This article provides an introduction to how teachers can successfully incorporate computers as teaching tools in their classroom. 21st C. students are often well-versed in this technology, and consider computers as necessary to learning as textbooks, notebooks, and pens. The same is not always true for their teachers. This resource points out several useful tools and instructions that can help teachers view computers not as a threat, but as an ally in the classroom.

Education Partner Network

28 Luty 2013

 

Innovators in the education field are mainly individuals. Innovative teachers who created their own educational resources often do not want to share their content; they don’t think about scalability and believe that this content only works for them. It’s crucial to show them how they can be examples for others. Microsoft has therefore created a network of innovative teachers and a network of innovative schools.
