A user-friendly Learning Management System provides the foundation for online course content, formative assessment, discussion and lesson organization.
Using the built-in assessment tool (or an external service like Socrative) gives teachers a way to quickly gather feedback, measure understanding, and demand engagement.
Another way to engage in and beyond the classroom with an LMS is through discussions. Ours has both graded and open discussion formats, depending on the purpose of the online discussion.
Open discussions allow students to engage with each other about class material, while graded are teacher-led and have specific requirements. Students can also upload files to the discussion, and comment on others. Ours even has a "hide other posts until the student posts one" feature which can be helpful to avoid the "yea, what she said."
