Reflect for a moment on the LMS used for the quests in this skill. Then, list each tool available within the LMS in your blog. Which tools would be most valuable in the online classroom? Which would be of least value?
Of the most value are the individual lessons, the assessment descriptors, the rubrics, and the dropboxes. Also of importance are the individualized email options that can provide direct contact with students.
Of the least value are the features that tend to repeat options that can be found on the internet, or that suggest redundancy, or that serve little purpose with the overall scoring and grades of the course. For example, often a lot of times general resources (i.e. the wikipedia, search tool bars, etc) tend to only provide services that the internet already provides, so they tend to clutter up the course room. Likewise, a lot of the forms of social expression that are included in an LMS mirror other forms of social media, and unless there is a direct connection with an assessment, there is no immediate or tangible reason to use the platform.
