Commons Tool
Commons is a new tool, similar to a social media wall (similar to Facebook wall) for posts and updates on the Vula site. The course convener, lecturers, tutors and students can post to the “wall” as well as reply to posts made by others. Please note that the course convener will need to add this tool if it will be used in the course site. Currently, you also need to ask to have the Permissions set on this tool before you can use it on your site (even though the course convener can add the tool).

Key Points:
