Education is considered to be the primary factor for the economic growth and social change of any country. The mode of education is getting easier day by day. The new education systems are using various technologies to deliver education. Currently, the most trending field of education is virtual classroom. The term virtual defines simulation of real thing. A virtual classroom is an online learning method that is carried out via internet that provides communication for distance learner just like face-to-face classroom. It is the field of education that focuses on technology to deliver education to students who are not physically available on site to get their education.3 In this, class can be attended by learners from any part of the world from any type of devices like laptop, desktop and mobile phones. This field of education is going to be in high trend in the upcoming days and soon will be replacing the traditional mode of education as internet dependent learning is growing rapidly in almost every schools and colleges. Many university-based syllabuses are converted into e-forms so that it can easily be accessible via internet from any part of the world and this urges the faculties of schools and universities to create online version of their own contexts. Certain circumstance has led to the constant growth and acceptance of distance education where geographic location plays a major role. It is a field which allows the learner to choose their subject of interest, context related to their goals and needs, comfort of environment and technological methods in their preferred time. In the modern world (21st century), virtual classroom has become a blessing for both the teacher and students, as both are separated through geographic means and may not be available at the same time. It has made the education system easy and has helped the students in saving the time. Study of human behavior, education, skill training and gaming extensively uses virtual environment. The children spent more time in the simulated classroom than the real classroom, where they must be more attentive to any classroom task. To make them pay attention in real classroom this virtual classrooms are immersive, for these school-aged children. Forms of Virtual Classroom The two major factors for conducting virtual learning are participant’s location and time. As a type of distance learning, it requires a divergent location, learners and mentors. As long as time of learning is considered virtual learning forms two main categories. That is synchronous and asynchronous.
