• receiving data representing a submission of an assignment from a first student user identity, the first student user identity being a member of an online class including a plurality of other student user identities and an instructor user identity;
• in response to receiving the data representing the submission of the assignment:
• sending a notification that the first student user identity has submitted the assignment to the plurality of other student user identities and the instructor user identity, and
• making accessible to the plurality of other student user identities and the instructor user identity, the assignment and a comment module associated with the assignment;
• receiving, from a second student user identity, a comment in the comment module;
• receiving, from the instructor user identity, data representing an evaluation of the assignment;
• in response to receiving the data representing the evaluation of the assignment, sending, to the first student user identity and to the second student user identity, the data representing the evaluation of the assignment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving data representing a submission of an assignment from a first student user identity, the first student user identity being a member of an online class including a plurality of other student user identities and an instructor user identity;
• in response to receiving the data representing the submission of the assignment:
• sending a notification that the first student user identity has submitted the assignment to the plurality of other student user identities and the instructor user identity, and
• making accessible to the plurality of other student user identities and the instructor user identity, the assignment and a comment module associated with the assignment;
• receiving, from a second student user identity, a comment in the comment module;
• receiving, from the instructor user identity, data representing an evaluation of the assignment;
• in response to receiving the data representing the evaluation of the assignment, sending, to the first student user identity and to the second student user identity, the data representing the evaluation of the assignment.
