Abstract: Designing a virtual classroom is an enormous task that requires a lot of resources and time. The development and implementation of a prototype of integrated system of virtual classroom using Kaduna Polytechnic as a case study is carried out in this study. The implementation was carried out for asynchronous and synchronous modes of delivering lectures. The asynchronous mode of lecture delivery was through Moodle platform. The synchronous mode of lecture delivery was through Elluminate platform that was integrated into Moodle. The environment setup which includes setting up of users, courses, lectures, quizzes, assignment, glossary, chatting and lessons is presented with students’ enrolment. The modes of lecture delivery and business continuity strategy are analysed and presented.
