Navigate 3.1.3 Tools within the LMS Quest

Each tool available in the Moodle LMS is listed below. Of these tools I feel the most valuable in an online classroom would be the Chat and Feedback features. These specific tools allow for communication between the instructor and student. Communication is vital especially in an online capacity.

The tools that I feel would be of the least value in an online classroom for student would be the external tool from the available list of tools in this LMS. The reason I feel this tool would be of the least value is because it is one of the resources that actually require additional support. A lot of times when this type of configuration is needed it runs into the need for additional tech support. In essence this can be more of a headache that benefit to the learners and instructors.
