September’s Online Learning Webinar session featured Yellowdig, a Facebook-like tool for the Canvas classroom. Shaunak Roy, founder and CEO of Yellowdig, joined the Distance Learning team on Wednesday to describe and discuss the merits of the tool. If you missed it, there is a recording of the session available.

To learn more about Yellowdig, please watch the informational video below.
