Chapter 1 Introduction to VirtualClass
1-1 What is VirtualClass?
VirtualClass 4.0 is a real-time, interactive multimedia broadcast system
that emulates a classroom situation over a network. It incorporates a
revolutionary design combining hardware and software to establish a
more efficient and stable framework for education.
VirtualClass offers teachers a highly effective and versatile tool that
enables them to fully achieve the potential of multimedia teaching and
learning. An external keypad makes class management much easier
and enhances the operation of VirtualClass by providing direct access to
its primary functions.
VirtualClass handles all of the teaching needs in a classroom: a teacher
can monitor, control, shut down and broadcast to a specific student's
workstation or to an entire computer lab simply by clicking the buttons
on the VirtualClass keypad.

Student Number
The student number is assigned based on the order that the student is
logged in. For example, if four students have already logged in to
VirtualClass, the next student to log in will be assigned Student Number
5. The Student Number is set only after logging into the class for the
first time. If VirtualClass is reinstalled, the student number will be
redefined according to the new login sequence.
Student Name
The name of the student’s computer.
Teacher Name
The name of the teacher’s computer.
Classroom ID
When VirtualClass Teacher is launched for the first time, there will be a
pop-up window for you to select which classroom you would like to enter.
The number you select will be the classroom number.
