A BreakThrough Discovery
/Gerry
CourseFeed makes online learning social. Students go to class for all
kinds of reasons - to hang out with friends, to get a degree, and to
learn - probably in that order. As more and more instruction goes online
the *real* classroom experience is left behind. We at CourseFeed
believe the best learning experiences require that groups of students be
involved, engaged, and interested. The so-called online learning
management systems of today are sterile data repositories that manage
data transfer, not learning.
CourseFeed is .... a *mash-up* between online school content and
Facebook. CourseFeed*s seamless integration with a school*s LMS
ensures classmates displayed in a CourseFeed course are the same
students enrolled in corresponding LMS course. Users see names and
photos of their classmates and are given tools to interact - making
online course work social and collaborative. CourseFeed*s alerts let
students know when a change is made in the LMS course and provide
single-click access to course content ... .
