@philosophypaul @ALKelly1011 You both mention tech. Do you have a favorite tool(s) for connection/communication in online classes? #iolchat
philosophypaul Oct 19 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @ALKelly1011 Favorite? LMS takes priority, but also @padlet or @Adobe Connect or @zoom_us #IOLchat
CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @ALKelly1011 Agreed on the LMS. ;) #iolchat
CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 12:21 PM EDT

@philosophypaul @ALKelly1011 The LMS, no matter which one it is, is really the central hub for online course connections. #iolchat
philosophypaul Oct 19 @ 12:25 PM EDT
Yes, LMS critical. In most cases it is the go-to source for accepted academic data. #IOLchat https://t.co/jekdyRhEJk
