> Tools inputs and outputs (ability for tools to communicate and exchange

Yeah, this is actually something really really cool that is mainly done but we need to work on the Authoring interface to make this easier for people to use.

Essentially you will be able to get output from one activity and use them as inputs in another one. Typical example could be:

First activity is a Q&A where you ask the students "What's your favorite joke?". The students enter text on the answer

Second activity is Vote where you take all the students' inputs in the previous Q&A and present them as options in the vote so the students can choose the funniest joke.

(I know, I know, perhaps not the most pedagogically advance example, but at least it's entertaining).

So you take the answers/inputs from an activity and re-use them in the next one.

Thanks,

Ernie
