The main purpose of the “Teleconference” subsystem is to allow two or more remote users to communicate and collaborate with each other. The “Teleconference” subsystem is an alternative way of interacting with the learners of the course. In this way, the eClass platform places you in the same “room” with a set of learners who of course can be in any physical geographical location. If the “Teleconference” tool is enabled in your course then it will appear in the “Active modules” of the course. Otherwise, you should activate the “Teleconference” tool.
