Thanks for the idea. We do not have the opportunity to purchase any products, but we have a lot of software at our disposal that is similar to VoiceThread like Canvas Conferences or Kaltura. The teacher is going to use a MindTap integration, so hopefully, that will help as well. ... View more

Yes, I believe the professor is going to use video conferencing, at minimum for students practicing their speaking together for credit. Flipgrid looks interesting, I'll have to check it out. ... View more

Using all caps is not just a visual preference. In terms of web design and accessibility, you should use all caps sparingly. Its fine for some titles, but it can be more difficult to read. Some fonts are better with caps than others. Spacing also helps readability. In modules, I believe it is very difficult to read caps. Also, screen readers may read capitalized letters one at a time, so it is unaccommodating to those who have vision impairments. It can also be difficult for those that are dyslexic. I have 20/20 vision, and I find reading all caps difficult when used for more than a three words. SUMMARY: YOU SHOULD USE ALL CAPS SPARINGLY BECAUSE THE LETTERS "FUSE" TOGETHER AND SCREENREADERS MAY READ ONE CAPITAL LETTER AT A TIME, SO IT CAN BE FRUSTRATING FOR ALL.
