BounceApp with Comments

Through these functions, BounceApp supports revising website content. With such functions, its uses include:^[2]

• for colleagues to comment on each other's online materials, whether websites or blogs.

[edit] LMS Integration

While BounceApp does not integrate into Learning Management Systems, it generates URLs, which can link URLs into learning management content.
