•  What course management tools do you use (ex: discussions, small groups, etc)?

I use all of the tools except for groups. I cannot seem to figure that out easily. I will use Groups in the future.

•  How has using CourseSpace changed your course?

I provide feedback to students almost immediately. I don't waste time in class handing back papers.  All papers are handed in completely on line -- no exceptions. I can diagnose better the students who are struggling, since I can see how they are doing more easily compared to their peers. I use the data from the archives to do research in my department. I can make changes more quickly to materials for the course, since it can be posted immediately I think the communication between me and students is better and more substantive.

• What lessons have you learned?

Same as above.
