The Virtual Classroom allows Instructors and Students to participate in real time lessons and discussions. The Group Browser enables users to collaboratively browse the Web. The Instructor and users use this tool to open a URL that is viewable by all users. URLs used in the session will be recorded in the archive if one is created. The Instructor will determine whether or not this function is made available to users.
Note: Only users who have an Active role can access the Group Browser. See the User Rolestopic for more information on roles.
