Classroom Course

About this course type

A classroom course offers synchronous, real-time instruction delivered either in-person or virtually through web conferencing platforms such as Zoom or WebEx. This format creates a dynamic and interactive learning environment where students can engage directly with the instructor and peers, ask questions, and receive immediate feedback.

Classroom courses typically incorporate a variety of teaching methods—including lectures, discussions, and interactive activities—designed to promote collaboration and create an immersive educational experience.
