Board — collaborative post-it board activity for Moodle

Maintained by Brickfield Education Labs, Gavin Henrick (Brickfield)

Board gives students a shared space to contribute ideas, links, images, and videos as visual posts organised into teacher-defined columns. Posts are anonymous by default — students see each other's contributions but not who made them.
