Tool Box- Disscusion Forums

This tool is a great source for classroom interaction. People can all access and respond to each other. For example- instead of the student always contacting the professor for questions, they can post the question in a discussion board and possibly a student could have an answer quicker than the teacher. This also helps for group projects or reflections. Since the tool is open to everyone in the course it is easier to communicate. I find this tool very useful since students can get constant feedback from each other and feel comfortable using the online course, rather than always contacting the teacher who may not always be available.

Tool Box- Document Submission

This toolbox comes in handy during online courses since you can't always rely on email. This tool allows students to submit their paper and the teacher be able to provide feedback to each one individually. This also eliminates the excuses from students that the attachment was too big or that it would not send through email. Overall a great source for students to submit papers without the hassle of email.
