David Hoida, McGill University Instructor “I just wanted to let you know how successful a teaching & learning tool linkr has been for me this year at McGill… The conversations were richer than I could have hoped for. My observations (as well as the T.A.’s who evaluated the assignment), were that the quality of the submitted work was higher than one would typically expect at the undergraduate level. Many thanks for this wonderful platform. I feel like I have only scratched the surface of linkr’s potential.”

Kassia, student, McGill University “linkr allowed me to feel more engaged with the content we were being taught.”

Claudina Ocando, student, McGill University “It was beneficial to my learning as it allowed for discussions I would not have had if it was not for linkr.” (Anonymous, student, McGill University“Easy to use, I liked the interaction with the whole class, it made the class more dynamic.”

Robin Roth, Associate Professor of Geography and Graduate Coordinator, University of Guelph “We had an excellent experience! Students were able to browse the site of our collaborating classroom easily and gained a greater breadth of understanding. I’ll be using it again.”
