Getting students excited enough to participate in conversation outside of class is one of the Holy Grails of teaching. Lora, formerly known as CourseKit, is a Founder's Fund-backed classroom management system that centers classroom discussion around the familiar (and addictive) interface of the scrolling newsfeed. With an impressive +600 universities already experimenting with a platform launched last winter, Lora has announced a newly redesigned interface for the upcoming semester (including a future-facing "upward" scroll for the newsfeed, which could become a staple of other social media).Lora's newsfeed makes classroom conversation public by default. Instead of one-to-one emails or conversations between students and professors, everything gets listed on the public platform.
