Collaborize Classroom

Collaborize Classroom is software which allows teachers to create free sites which facilitate student discussion. It allows instructors to organize structured conversations, including embedded polls, debates, and practice tests. These virtual classrooms can use attached files, online resources, and interactivity. Collaborize also automatically builds student portfolios and tracks activity to make grading more efficient. For teachers just getting started, Collaborize features a "Topic Library" of peer-reviewed lessons and assignments. For an example of Collaborize being used in a college course, see Professor Janice Naegele's of Wesleyan University's Neuroscience and Behaviour course.
