  17. We can have as many basic bricks as we want.

  18. But we can get many other, compatible bricks too. OpenMeetings Calculators Google Apps Mahara Certificate Podcast Games HotPotatoes Translate Individual Learning Plan ELGG Polls LAMS Timers Widgets these plus nearly 400 other compatible modules, plugins, blocks, filters, activities…

We decide who gets in and does what in our courses …and for that reason we have roles: Admin can do, see & edit anything on the site Teacher can do, see & edit anything in their course Student can do, see & edit in course as assigned by teacher Permissions for parent or any other role can be specified... Guest can only look in to parts allowed

  21. We can easily watch what others do… …and control as much or as little as we want.
