Virtual academies are professional eLearning platforms that allow teaching and learning in interactive ways and through the Internet.
They can include multimedia content and elements that encourage student participation, in order to offer a pleasant experience.
In the same way, online platforms that enable distance learning make it possible to connect with thousands of students at once easily and inexpensively, saving costs for conference rooms, staff, equipment and more.
Among the things that virtual academy platforms offer are live classes, downloadable resources, recordings, and even interactive assignments and activities.
In addition, both teachers and students can decide how, when and where they will teach or learn. This is the great advantage of virtual academies, which can be accessed from wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection.
These tools are used by all types of educational institutions, such as universities and private centers that seek to facilitate teaching online.
For online teaching there are various platforms that can give the teacher comfort and freedom to teach at a distance. One way to achieve this is by going to a software development company that carries out a project from scratch to create your online academy that you have dreamed of so much.
Another way is by using an existing eLearning platform and customizing it according to your needs. There are some that are open source, that is, software designed so that they can be freely developed and distributed by users. Its licenses are in the public domain.
Some examples of virtual academy platforms of this type are Moodle, Chamilo, Sakai or the LMS for WordPress or Canvas.
In the case of paid platforms, there are those that are paid per use and are hosted in the cloud and those that are paid per license. These are not open source and can be used through temporary contracts between the client and the company, which can be determined by number of students, courses, etc.
Moodle: It is the best known and most used of all, frequently selected by training centers, universities and even companies around the world. Among its most outstanding aspects is its easy-to-use interface, which allows teachers and students to easily understand how to use it.
