Virtual Classroom Learning A New Opening


Take the time to silence the internal advancement of science, technological development, all within an increasingly proactive Globalization has seriously affected education, giving way to new learning methods that foster the development of human talent of the people. The emergence of virtual classrooms that break many traditional schemes, such as class attendance are invited to be considered in scope, impact so that they know manage to ensure favorable outcomes for all involved in them. The openness of the Internet, its scope, which she is producing on behalf of the communication, to promote learning should be taken into account by universities, our interest, use their advantages, opportunities that we lay, such as virtual classroom event that opens the doors of the university at large distances so that those interested in personal growth and professional can benefit from what she offers. Of course, that identify with their implications, advantages, but also in determining its limitations, provides a new opening that requires teachers to know about its benefits, applicability, and make use of it in an effective way to provide those interested in the demand, are used.

Not surprising as Scagnoli Standard says that not all yet have joined the revolution, are still those who doubt and do not see the Internet as a "tool". Part of this fear is given by the lack of regulations and control that has the WWW, which allows anyone to publish without much foundation, or that the screen is full of surprises where the class can be lost in cyberspace if there organization plan and adequate resources.

The virtual classroom is the setting in internet browsing through the www, where educators and learners are to engage in activities that lead to learning (Horton, 2000). We are reminded that the virtual classroom should not be just a mechanism for sharing information, but should be a system where the activities involved in the process of learning can take place, ie it must allow interactivity, communication, application of knowledge, evaluation and management of virtual classrooms today clase.Las take different shapes and sizes, and even called with different names. Some are closed systems where the user and instructor of a class, you have to dump its contents and limited to the options that were designed by the creators of virtual space to develop their course. Others extend the length and breadth of the network using hypertext as its best ally for students to stop and visit or meet other online resources related to the class very interesting when we are told that the elements a virtual classroom arise from an adaptation of the traditional classroom to which are added technological advances accessible to most users, and in which factors such as communication replace face to face, by other elements.

Basically, the virtual classroom must contain the tools to: 1. Distribution of information, 2. Exchange of ideas and experiences, 3. Implementation and testing of learning, 4. Assessment of knowledge, 5. Safety and reliability in the system. Very important when we are told, that a virtual classroom should be the space where students can acquire knowledge, experience, application, express, communicate, measure their achievements and know that the other side is the teacher, instructor or responsible for that class, that they can learn in an atmosphere reliable, secure and free from riesgos.Para the class takes place in the virtual classroom under ideal conditions, the teacher must ensure that before they all reach the basic requirements to participate in the course, publish and make known these requirements and how to achieve for those who do not, ensure equal access to course materials, providing options to address different learning styles of learners and their technological limitations, encourage communication and participation of students in the discussion forums, or alternative communication systems, mediate the communication is made within the rules of etiquette and respect and consideration, respect the times and dates posted on the class schedule, to make known the changes to all students and maintain consistency in the way of communication, and offer as far as possible crucial extra sessions before or during the course so that students have the opportunity to resolve technical problems related with the dictates of course that prevented from continuing, thus avoiding the class is distracted by conversations related to the technical part.

Fortunately, the graduate program of Quality Management and Productivity? Rea Faces graduate of the University of Carabobo, was the acceptance by the authorities to approve its operation and incorporated into this new learning in order to promote not only the program development, but to share with all those professionals interested in this specialty in the country and internationally, creating new linkages this openness, exchange of knowledge and research that promote not only the university in its academic and social responsibility, without or the business, organizations interested in this specialty. His program has been initiated through the introductory course to pursue their subjects in virtual classrooms, where the contents are not only adapt the knowledge to be used in different stages of the world but are concentrated on the national reality, through programs designed so that motivate the participant to investigate, explore the national situation and make suggestions, proposals, solutions to serve not only the country, institutions in which they operate, but their own professional growth. Of course, commitment is more demanding than required by the traditional method of classes, however, the results are good, depending how it handles the facilitator and maintains active participation of the participants.

In other writings, we will look at the achievements, benefits, barriers and other considerations to take into account to further its reach in favor of education .-
