Virtual classroom pedagogy with ICT – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, D and E represent core features and pedagogical strategies for virtual classrooms. Platforms support multiple communication channels, norms make interaction manageable, recordings help with revision and breakout rooms enable collaboration. Statement C is false because interaction is essential for engagement and understanding, not just a technical risk. Statement F is false since attendance logs do not guarantee learning;teachers still need to plan engaging activities, so A, B, D and E constitute the correct set.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it omits E, so it does not mention small-group work via breakout rooms. A, B and D are true but overlook an important collaborative feature of many virtual classrooms, making the set partial.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it combines technical integration with interaction norms, recording and small-group collaboration. It rejects the claims that classes should be purely lecture-based or that engagement is unnecessary when attendance is tracked, thus aligning with best practices in synchronous online teaching.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it accepts F and omits A. Including F implies that platform logs are sufficient for learning quality, which is not true. Excluding A also removes the description of core tools, so this combination is unsatisfactory.

Option D:
Option D is incomplete because it omits B and therefore does not stress the importance of explicit interaction norms. A, D and E are valid, but without B the set fails to cover classroom management aspects.
