Social Comments

Increase student engagement by fostering peer learning through comment subscription, email digests, comments newsfeed, comment search and pinning of important comments and content to the pin board.
The Social Comments block makes learning more engaging by adding the following features (among others):
subscribe to an activity/ resource and get an email digest informing you about new comments
create a collection of the most important comments and activities/ resources of a course by pinning them to the pin board (e. g. to go through them again before an exam)
check the comments report to see the newest comments or search through all comments
This plugin is part of a collection of open source plugins, which all have the goal to improve the overall usability/ user experience of Moodle. Please find an overview of all used plugins in this video screencast (the Social Comments plugin is shown at 7:55min):
This plugin was developed by Synergy Learning  and the initial version was financed by the Berlin School of Economics and Law .  Maintenance is handed over from  EDU-Werkstatt GmbH  to  bdecent GmbH  by May 2022.
