Study has shown that students who enter schools to pursue their education drop out in their second or third week of the course due to in adequate preparation of online environment. If they are asked why they dropped out, their response is always: they did not know that it is very difficult. These students get recruited by institutions of higher learning without receiving necessary orientation and training. The end results are their fading away from the online environment and hence waste of money. Virtual Classrooms Institute prepares educators and students by training and developing them, giving them theoretical and hands-on training that are required in order to successfully pursue and complete their academic programs. Educators and students, who have gone through the training have always come back to say how the training program has affected their life and how they wish they have taken it earlier. We develop students into critical thinkers and bring compassion and empathy out of educators.
Virtual Classrooms Institute works with universities and colleges, who express interest in migration of face-to-face traditional education to online education to design, develop and implement hybrid or online program as the case may be. We have a proven record in making recommendations and implementing education solutions. Studies also show that schools that have instituted online programs are able to compete for students and thrive in recruitment of them. We begin by assessing the need for the program and the necessary requirements involved in attracting, recruiting and retaining potential students. Since most institutions engage in accelerated programs, students cannot afford to waste any time, money or pursue them without adequate training. On the other hand, educators, who have obtained the training have enhanced their skills, supported students and therefore helped in the retention of them.
