Remote learning
Cloud-based teaching and management platform for classroom and home-based teaching and learning.

classroom.cloud is a cloud-based teaching and management platform, providing the essential tools for classroom and home-based teaching and learning.

Teachers can easily connect to their students’ devices and view their screens to monitor activity such as the current applications they’re using or websites they’re visiting. They can easily explain and demonstrate lesson activities using the screen-sharing and audio broadcast features - plus, give every student a voice with chat and messaging tools.

In addition, teachers can also define ‘allowed’ and ‘restricted’ lists of websites and applications to keep everyone safe, lock students’ screens to gain attention, gauge topic understanding with surveys, and support students when they ask for help via the help request tool.

With no swapping between solutions required for in-school and/or remote learning, it’s a simple and effective way to provide continuity for students and reduce edtech fatigue for teachers.

Construct

The chat and chances for asking for help are easy to use, which allows learners to also take responsibility for their learning and reflect when they want to get the teachers' attention. The tools like Quick launch, chat, screen share, and presentation allow very multimodal use of learning resources.
Linear
Non-linear/Creative
The lessons held with classroom.cloud are completely in control by the teacher, and their progress can be scheduled accurately. Classroom.cloud can be used to set equal learning paths for all users or the teacher can provide differentiated instructions and contents for different students. With block tools, the teacher can decide how much free exploration is allowed or promoted. Yet, the teacher can also confidently allow very explorative and creative use of digital resources.
Individual
Collaborative
Classroom.cloud is build for collaboration between teacher and students. There are several good tools for guidance and communication, and using an easy digital channel can even lower the threshold for reaching out to the teacher. Classroom.cloud complements other LMSs' in a great way since it gives tools for real-time communication, which are often lacking in other environments.

The following are the high educational quality aspects in this product.
