Study Groups or Class teams

[ss20ts]

I've used D2L Brightspace in the past (even created a course under the Creator+ platform at SSC). The schools I attended allowed us to use the D2L Instant Messaging system and Board to post questions, get draft feed back, interact with students, etc. Some of us used it like @KSoul seemed to do offline with his sister to compare grades and class experiences. Maybe that's what the discord is like (I haven't gone through it).

YourPace is moving to Brightspace in the future. What options they will have open to students remains to be seen. Like I said previously, there may not be others taking a course at the same time. That happened with many of my classes. It's not a big school. There are a couple hundred students total in YourPace. Discord is completely outside the learning platform. There you'll get responses like you do on here and on the Facebook group - from students who have completed the courses in the past and occasionally someone currently enrolled.
