For course management online:

  • UVLe has a wide range of features and activities focused on helping teachers manage their courses efficiently. Unlike in Google or Yahoo Group, a teacher on Uvle, for instance, can highlight weekly topics.
  • With a simple set-up on UVLe, a teacher can run activities (like Quiz, Survey, Wiki) that encourage student-teacher and student-student interactions.
  • UVLe has a bigger file upload limit than Yahoo or Google Group.
  • As teacher, you can collect assignments online via UVLe. So no clogged mail box! With Uvle, you can set a deadline of submission, beyond that, no submissions are accepted. This time-sensitive feature is not even available in Yahoo or Google Group.
  • Yahoo Group no longer keeps attachments to emails. Uvle archives everything in your message (including attachments) for later retrieval.
  • Uvle keeps all activity logs, so the teacher can choose to monitor who is lagging behind with the readings and assignments.
  • UVLe is focused on making academic instruction more efficient and effective. Yahoo or Google Group is a general-purpose mailing list.
  • Yahoo Group is prone to spams.
  • No ads on UVLe.
