Creative room for discussions

Sometimes students may feel frustrated due to a lack of human connection. Setting a room for discussion, so that everyone will participate with their thoughts and ideas, and they’ll have more time to think and share.

This solution is implemented if the technology used for online classes has all the facilities to conduct webinars, group work, or forums where students can resolve their queries.
