Virtual Classroom
Instructors using the Virtual Classroom tool for video conferencing within their course will see several changes. In April, the participant maximum will become 50 individuals per session, sessions will be limited to 60 minutes, and recordings will be available in TCU Online for 14 days. If you need to save your Virtual Classroom recording for longer than 14 days, please contact our team.
Virtual Classroom will now dynamically adjust the instructor and student connection depending on network strength. For example, an individual with limited Wi-Fi will be able to join a virtual classroom session and hear the audio, but their video will be turned off until their connection improves. Learn more:
