Tools for Creating a Digital Teacher on the Video
To grab attention from the audience is not easy. Whether your audience is students or corporate employees, it's not easy to capture their attention. Imagine a video course that consists of a thousand words and pictures. It's hard not to get stuck, right? And what if a digital presenter appeared in the video? That will definitely help you to stimulate the interest in the course, and here are my suggestions:

Software for creating animation effects for instructional video
It's not enough to present content through text and images, an interesting online course cannot be created without animations (are GIFs more interesting than JPN?) I believe that the following tools will help you to understand what you want to say.

Tools for Web Whiteboard
There must be something in your content that needs to be highlighted or scribbled, right? Remember the time when you were reading and the teacher was tapping out the key points on the board. In an online classroom, the action of 'tapping out' can be replaced by the drawing board tool.
And of course, the essential notes, diagrams and mind maps, the parts you want to write by hand, can be created with the following tools.
WebWhiteBoard - Online Drawing Tool
It's an online drawing board, once you open it on your browser you can draw by mouse and then click the 'share' button to get a special link to share with other people.

Software for scheduling a class
How to make a class schedule? Creating a schedule seems to be a part of online education that you can't avoid. You need to clearly let the trainer know the schedule, and it's easier for both students and staff to remind them when classes are scheduled so that both parties can schedule them properly.
Making it easy to create a good-looking and easy-to-understand schedule is the mission of the following tools.
Coursicle - College Schedule Maker
It's an online tool that can be easily used to create a class schedule. You can add a class event on the calendar with the different colors you define. Just like the following screenshot shown.

Creately - School schedule Maker(free&paid)
Creately is a traceable schedule generator and unlike other tools, it has more features such as managing your workflow, work timeline, to-do list ,etc.

APPs for Building an Online Classroom
It's quite important to build a communication way to connect the speaker and listener. Live chats are a primary way, you can set up a day to answer the questions and listen for feedback. So the following platform can help you do that.
Google Meet Platform
It's an app that needs to be downloaded on mobile or PC first. The advantage of this meeting software is that it is free and you can sign in through your Google account. You can invite up to 100 people to a meeting, but you need to be aware that each meeting cannot exceed 60 minutes in length. (For webinars longer than one hour, it is recommended to book two links to consecutive sessions)
Another very competitive advantage is that on this application, your meetings can appear with live captions, which will greatly reduce information errors in the meeting.

Zoom Meeting Platform
This software for building online meeting rooms is also commonly used, and by being more common in office scenarios, you can download the app, set a meeting time and topic, and then share your meeting link. People who get the meeting link can enter the meeting room directly by clicking on the link (the free duration is around 40 minutes)
