LEARN virtual Class Room (vCR) Platform
vCR is an online teaching platform for universities and higher education institutions in Sri Lanka. It is built using the free and open-source BigBlueButton system and runs on powerful servers hosted by LEARN. vCR is ideal for webinars, as well as regular virtual meetings and discussions.
With vCR, students and teachers can connect live, share content, and learn together in real time.
What you can do:
- Create your own virtual room
- Join classes easily using a simple link
For teachers at LEARN member institutions:
- Free to use
- No data charges
- No guaranteed service level, but our team will support you as best we can
Accessing the vCR Platform Off-Campus
The platform must be accessed through the LEARN Identity Access Federation. Login credentials are provided by your affiliated institution via its Identity Provider (IdP). Users should always use the credentials issued by their primary home institution.
While the platform can be used to teach at multiple LEARN member institutions, eduID can be used only if your primary institution is unable to provide valid credentials. If you don’t have an eduID, you can sign up here to receive one within 48 hours.
The number of accounts allocated to each institution is determined by the platform’s capacity and is proportional to the institution’s contribution to LEARN.
