One reason the multi-class kludge wouldn't work all that well is that we don't put the students in groups until 1/3 of the way through the quarter. Also, we shift them from group to group occasionally (for example, last quarter 3 out of 5 members of one group dropped the class, so I moved the other 2), so whatever system exists needs to be flexible in that sense.
Hmm. I'm not sure that would work for me (I really want to keep them all together as one class), but the ability to have forums limited to specific groups would be very, very helpful indeed. I see that will be coming along later, though.
