particularly in school education. Classrooms are going to change from traditional to smart. When we talk
about smart classroom we require certain things like computer, internet, video camera, speakers, microphone,
projector etc. This technology is also called Virtual Classroom Technology where the teacher can deliver
lecture with both the mode like synchronous and asynchronous virtual mode through internet. This paper
focuses on the role of virtual classroom software which provides the facility of synchronous and asynchronous
virtual mode of teaching. By using this Virtual Classroom Software [VCS], the teacher can not only deliver the
lecture but also evaluate the students. This software has several features like live class/online class, offline
class, create future class, notice board, assessment, feedback etc. The teacher can use power point
presentation/word documents while delivering live lecture. Students can easily communicate through
chat/feedback segment to teacher and get quick reply also. The role of Virtual Classroom Software is very
important. It reduces the huge paperwork and gives quick assessment. It is called “Any time, Any where
classroom”. Teacher should manage the progress of the each students of the class through this software. It will
be very beneficial for teachers, students and entire educational system.
