Collaborative work with Moodle

Moodle offers tools such as forums and chat for peer interaction. In wikis and glossaries, a shared knowledge base can be created by students through texts and images. Instructors can also set up collaborative documents for group work purposes. BBB provides additional collaboration options.

For sharing files and documents, Nextcloud or the group folders in EMMA are suitable.
