Virtual Lecturer-led Interactive Teaching
Through the Google platform DIGMAC uses Google Classroom as a virtual classroom to deliver lecturer-led, interactive teaching virtually. Google classroom allow lecturing staff to facilitate a training session live to students with a whiteboard and recording capability. It also allows the lecturer to get access to the student’s computer to assist with problematic areas.
