Mattermost is an open-source platform for secure collaboration across the entire software development lifecycle. We choose to use this software to communicate online in real time, which is a good helper for group discussion and teamwork. This is also the fastest contact channel for students to find their instructors.
It helps users create forms, generate links, and share them with whomever they want. The generated forms can be used for any purpose the creator likes. Moreover, part of Google Forms also includes analytics to help users understand how their audience responds to the surveys in the forms. Therefore, we choose to use this technique to create the course’s online discussion forums. We also use the plugin “Blank Quiz” inside Google Forms to create our final exam.
H5P is a plug-in software in WordPress, which helps us create interactive content more easily. Authors may create and edit interactive videos, presentations, games, advertisements and more. Our course uses this technology tool to create reading comprehension quizzes for students. As well as it is also an excellent Learning Management System for delivering online courses.
