This is why I don't like Fronter

This is why I don't like Fronter

This picture shows what our students see for their English course. My point of comparison would be a modern textbook which usually tries to be attractive in layout and content. Perhaps there is a whole wreck of features I could use to make it more attractive. I have been thrown into using Fronter with no preparation. Otherwise I find this completely unappealing for students. It is simply a list of homework.

Appeal is one point. The other is emphasis on authorship. The notion here seems to be that the teacher is the one person who should post content.

Agreed. I am forever trying to encourage my students whoever they may be, whether high school or adult, to contribute to the sum of materials which constitutes our course. Anything which makes this easier is very welcome.
