Dialogs Go Well Beyond the Basic Functionality of Instructional Resources.
Dialogs can be created from scratch by users to incorporate user knowledge and student needs.
Dialogs can be reviewed and ratings about their effectiveness posted.
Dialogs can be copied, modified, and shared within and across education agencies.
Students and teachers can engage in online dialogic communication from multiple locations.
Teachers can use dialogs to present lessons, assignments and assessments to individual students, intervention and enrichment groups and the whole class.
Teachers can monitor student participation in Dialogs in real time.
Students can write essays in Dialogs, and teachers can grade those essays online.
Dialogs and sets of Dialogs can function as complete assessments, and psychometric analyses can be conducted establishing the reliability and validity of those assessments.
Finally, Dialogs can be linked to Dialog Units specifying the scope and sequence of instruction for a selected time period.
