Great tools and new ideas to enhance interest in the virtual classroom. I loved the stool analogy regarding before, during, and after assessments. This assists in assessing where a student is in regards to knowing and learning the content in the course. It can also develop more connections with the content. I also love the idea of incorporating a video/audio component to provide feedback to the students. My LMS has this availability, but for some reason, I never use it. This can provide meaningful feedback to students in a personalized manner.
