Virtual classrooms at TAFE NSW

Virtual classrooms make learning simple, no matter where you are – on campus or online. They give you the flexibility to study in a way that suits your life.

Joining a virtual classroom is a key part of online learning. It’s not just about making study easier – it’s also about building the digital and online skills that employers value.

Virtual classrooms let you connect with teachers and students wherever you are, on campus or online.

You’ll get:

• teacher-led classes that guide you through each lesson and explain what to do
• one-on-one help when you need support to stay on track
• chances to connect, share ideas and learn with other students online
• work-ready skills for online and remote work that employers value.

When you join a virtual classroom, the same expectations apply as in any TAFE NSW learning space. Preparing your learning space, connecting your devices and accessories, and building confidence in your skills will help you succeed.

Platforms we use

We use several web conferencing platforms to connect students and teachers. The main platform is Microsoft Teams. Your teacher will confirm class times and which platform to use.
