Threaded Discussion tool
The threaded discussion tool allows discussion on several topics to occur simultaneously, each dealing with one 'category' or aspect of a problem under discussion. On every aspect there may be several threads, and every single contribution can be applied a 'type' - e.g. an Argument, a Claim or a Rebuttal. The teacher can configure those types in the Lesson Planner.
Graphical Tool
The Graphical tool represents the discussion spatially. It too can accept different contribution types, as well as different types of relations between contributions (e.g: 'oppose' or 'support').
Co-Writer
The Co-Writer tool allows all the learners in the classroom to write a collaborative text. The teacher assigns writing permission.
