QuickConnect LMS Widget:
Email alone is no longer an effective tool to reach today's students and while some students rarely log into your institution's learning management system, they do check their phones and Facebook accounts multiple times per day. ConnectYard's QuickConnect Widget can help your institution make its learning management systems more social, interactive and engaging. QuickConnect allows any user within a course to post comments and questions on lecture, homework, etc. using a simple widget, or HTML badge, that can be easily added to popular learning management systems, including Blackboard, Desire2Learn, Moodle, Sakai and others.
QuickConnect messages are delivered to other class or group members through their favorite social networking site, mobile phone or email. Both students and instructors have the option of replying to posts via Facebook, Twitter, text message, or email. All responses are then added to a single communication thread within your learning management system for other students and instructors to view and respond to. Threaded communications can even be forwarded to other classes and groups to expand the conversation as well as stored in a searchable knowledgebase for the benefit of future students.
