Abstracts: A virtual classroom is an online learning environment. The environment can be web-based and accessed through a portal or software. Virtual classroom software applications often use multiple synchronous technologies, such as web conferencing, video conferencing, live streaming. “A virtual classroom is a learning environment created in the virtual space. Such type of learning is very less expensive in comparison to other type of learning in higher education”. This project introduces the new method of distant learning (e-learning), a Virtual classroom system that enhances the interaction between students and teachers. There are many Virtual classroom systems available in the market, but lack features like interactive response, live streaming, and assignment management. Many systems have virtual instructor and thus student can’t ask questions immediately and get responses. However students learn effectively by interactive communication and collaboration. This Virtual Classroom system introduces a new design for e-learning that tries to remove these problems and increase the interaction between teacher and students, as if they were studying in real classroom. Teacher can stream his/her lecture live, upload assignments, answer questions at same time. On the other hand student can raise their hand (virtually) and ask questions.
