They will use various multimedia learning objects, various educational tools and virtual labs to augment their teaching. A HD camera captures the class live and stream to our Content Delivery Network of cloud servers. Any learner with an internet connectivity of only 100 kbps should be able to view the live classes and he or she can also interact with the teacher.
