A virtual classroom is an arrangement that provides the same possibilities for the teaching and learning process, exceeding the physical limits of the traditional classroom's walls, thanks to the use of computer communication networks. Due to the pervasiveness and prevalence of the Internet; especially the World Wide Web; most pragmatic classroom implementations are Web-based.

Some of the advantages of a Web-based classroom are its geographic, temporal and platform independence, and its simple, familiar and consistent interface. Some of the drawbacks are- restricted access to the Internet worldwide; endurance to shifting to new and alternative teaching and learning criteria or methodologies; privacy, security, copyright and related issues; and a lack of uniform status.

In this article, we compile the process of conceiving, planning, designing, implementing, and maintaining a virtual classroom in some easy-to-follow steps. The article is sighted at the reader who has a former understanding of the basics of Web-based education or wants an understanding that structured simplified view of the steps that ought to be taken in order to successfully implement a virtual classroom.

The permanence of demand for the proposed virtual classroom and the basic infrastructure to develop it. Put solely, you value 'what is,' or the current state of conditions, available system, etc., and 'what ought to be,' or the desired output.

Examples of these are graphical creation and manipulation; CGI-based programming; software appraisal and evaluation; Java programming; and network setup and maintenance, to name a few. At the stark, minimum, we infer an instructional technology staff of versatile, motivated and creative individuals.

Video production, processing and sharing normally require extensive and valuable hardware and software support. Digital video cameras are just beginning to appear in the market; meanwhile, the best solution is to use an analogue camera and a VCR and convert the resulting video into a digital format using specific digitizing boards.
