Pedagogical advantages of live elearning
• Teacher and student are separated in space but not in time
• The pedagogical structure of the class assembled at a fixed time and for a fixed period is restored
• A WWW browser is used as an important delivery medium
• Voice contact between the teacher and the students and, at times, between student and teacher is restored
• Student study is paced by the virtual classroom sessions
Pedagogical advantages of live elearning
• Breakout rooms for small group discussions and web safaris for use of the WWW are available
• Communication is managed electronically
• Pedagogical features of elearning like video broadcasts, text chat, whiteboards, Power Point type presentations and application sharing are available
• Students have the advantages of the flexibility of studying on their own and the social advantages of belonging to a learning group
Virtual Classrooms in Educational Provision
• The purpose of the project is to analyse, evaluate and document the use synchronous elearning systems (virtual classroom systems) in academic and corporate institutions in Europe.
• Other key outputs from the project will include a suite of reusable Virtual Classroom courseware as well as a comprehensive manual of good practice for all target groups embarking on the use of virtual training scenarios

Implementation of live elearning (VCT)
Return on Investment Assumptions
• Assume 4 regions, 125 students to be trained
• For ILT (Instructor-led training) 80% (100) of students must travel. For VCT 0% travel.
• Lost time (opportunity time) per student = 5 hours
• Hourly cost = €80

Deployment issues
• Instructor Competence
• Centra Champions
• Administration Issues (booking, course material, tracking etc)
• Customer awareness and acceptance
• IS/IT requirements
