Rationale behind Virtual NoticeBoard

In the case of the Virtual NoticeBoard, it serves as a class online publication to provide dated entries in reverse chronological order (most recent first) about what is happening in class. In short, it functions as an online journal. Information, thoughts and feelings would be conveyed via this platform. Visitors are welcomed to post feedback and comments.
