Since our founding in 2020 on the Zoom platform, Class has set out to enhance the virtual learning experience. By 2022, we became the most widely used virtual classroom solution, and in 2023, we expanded to offer virtual training for work and government. In 2024, we saw our greatest enhancement to date with our release of Class for Microsoft Teams.
By offering Class for Zoom and Class for Teams, Class’s virtual classroom solution is now available to educators, government agencies, and businesses—no matter what platform they choose to standardize on.
I’d like to extend a huge thank you to our customers, partners, and the team at Class for the hard work necessary to make this recognition possible. We are excited to continue to provide best-in-class solutions that make virtual learning more engaging, inclusive, and successful for learners and instructors worldwide.
