The Online Classroom

Online classrooms at GCA are virtual learning spaces created through the use of our learning management system. Online classrooms allows students and teachers to connect either synchronously (real-time, with teacher and students meeting at the same time) or asynchronously (interaction between teacher and students occurring intermittently with a time delay). In the resources below, teachers share tips and tricks for managing their online class and engaging their students.
