Virtual, instructor-led training is based around an online classroom where a live instructor provides lectures, demonstrations and practical labs. Instructors are connected to students via an Internet connection, allowing students to ask questions and interact with the teacher and other students.
Teaching materials used with virtual, instructor-led training applications include computer-based interactive whiteboards, online tests and application sharing. Web-based learning is designed to replicate the classroom experience.
Virtual, instructor-led training is used to allow students from a large geographic area to gain education opportunities where attending a physical classroom is not practical.
