Course Management Prompt

Just like internet sites have taken over text books, course management tools, such as D2L, Moodle, and Blackboard, are taking over teacher's curriculum and grade books. These programs can pretty much handle everything you would do in the classroom. Programs such as D2L, Moodle, and Blackboard can administer tests or quizzes, provided formats for projects or assignments, post grades, collect assignments, and include class discussion sections. I think these programs are great ideas because I then know if one of my students is out sick or something, they can stay caught up with the rest of the class simply by checking in with the program.
