I have used Slack to host my MWL Workshops (see image to the left), and in How One Professor Uses Slack for Teaching (Inside HigherEd, 1 Mar 2021) Dr George Erhardt shares how he has utilized Slack in his teaching too – and there is a good reason for it.

“Our school’s LMS is flexible but sooo cumbersome. Doing anything requires so many clicks and each one takes time to reload the page. And LMS discussion forums, well, I think by now we all know how unproductive those are. Slack is as easy as chatting on your phone, and for me, I find that improves my student response time.“
