Google Provides 10 Free Tools For Delivering Online Classes 

1. You’ll need the basics – your computer / laptop, headset, and broadband.
2. Use Google Hangout for real time, ‘face to face’ lessons delivery and interactions. For more than 10 participants, use Google Hangout On Air.
3. If recording of lessons / presentations is required, Google Hangout On Air produces videos for those who cannot attend live classes.
4. Use shared folders in Google Drive to store lesson plans and material for members only. [Google Drive integrates with Google+ and Google Hangout].
5. Create a logistics / terms of service shared folder for all clients. Use Google Drive. Upfront agreement is crucial for smooth operations.
6. Use Google Calendar for scheduling classes and appointments.
7. Use an online payment tool [Pay Pal is an option besides Google wallet].
8. Create a library of videos for members only using YouTube [No need for complicated Learning Management Systems, Google+ will do].
9. Create a community for students to collaborate and support each other [No need for complicated membership site. Google+ works just fine].
10. Use Google Hangout to show and record screencasts. Or the camera can be on you, teaching.
