Students are able to ask questions through the virtual classroom interface. Students are also provided the capability to post questions on their websites or blogs then link them to the relevant lesson. This feature will enable teachers to interact directly with their students outside of the classroom. Teachers will be able to upload lecture slides directly onto Thinkific to enhance their classroom instruction.
