Welcome to Teachfloor's in-depth guide on its community feature.
Teachfloor being an LMS platform that is centric on social learning, found it important to have an in-app community feature, where learners can interact with each other, and with their instructor as well.
Teachfloor in-app community feature is beyond a community, where learners can also have open discussions, and can send private messages as well. Above all, it is monitored by the account administrator.
