Description



The Social Comments block makes learning more engaging by adding the following features (among others):

  • subscribe to an activity/ resource and get an email digest informing you about new comments
  • create a collection of the most important comments and activities/ resources of a course by pinning them to the pin board (e. g. to go through them again before an exam)
  • check the comments report to see the newest comments or search through all comments
