Video Conferencing and Virtual Classroom as Tools for Tutoring Online

The International Telematic University Uninettuno originated from the experience of Consorzio Nettuno and benefited from its know-how, acquired in over 20 years of experience in the field of distance education and e-Learning. The main didactic tool is the internet-based learning environment , the first portal in the world where teaching and learning are carried out in many languages including Italian, English, French and Arabic. Communication tools are a core component of the Uninettuno psycho-pedagogical didactic model of Prof. Maria Amata Garito, implemented in the Uninettunoportal; together with Support tools and Didactic content delivery services, it constitutes the structure through which higher education or vocational training courses are provided. In particular, the communication tools allow contact with the tutor and other students in the class, exchange of experiences, the co-construction of knowledge and practical implementation of collaborative learning as a fundamental part of the online teaching and learning process.
