Depending on your class situation and instructor, you might also be required to use tools outside of those in the course platform. For example, instructors often use blogs (Weblogs) and wikis for collaborative writing or sharing. Some classes might use Google Docs for managing files and collaborative writing. Your instructor will probably provide specific instructions for using such technology for your course; however, if you need additional help or information, use the help features or ask your instructor for further guidance.
