Discord is a great place to host an online classroom. Channels are easy to navigate, and can be customized for more specific communication (e.g. small group work) within the larger group. Voice channels that offer audio-only or video chat options can be synced to text channels. Channels can be locked to certain group members, meaning we could set up a forum just for students without them having to switch platforms. Plus there are a bunch of customizable features (e.g. bots that play Spotify channels on request) to make spending time in the program's Discord more fun.
