While ActiveClass has been retired as of January, 2025, we have other discussion tools that might do the trick.
ActiveClass is a social learning community-building discussion tool.
With ActiveAssignments create assignments, measure engagement, easily see individual student activity, and grade it.
With ActiveFeed you and your students can inform, collaborate, and build community.
