This is an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to maintain and activate Live classes into your MindScroll LMS account.
A virtual classroom is a teaching and learning environment where participants can interact, communicate, view and discuss presentations, and engage with learning resources while working in groups, all in an online setting.
Please Note: In order to use the live session in MindScroll LMS.
