Piazza is a unique Q&A environment for asking and answering course questions. Students leverage their shared knowledge and collaborate on a single student response to questions. Instructors can provide their own answers to questions or simply endorse the community-generated response.
Starting February 1st, Piazza can be integrated into your D2L course so that it will become a seamless part of your course interaction and collaboration.
With Piazza you can:
- Ask students to solve challenging course problems through collaboration
- Poll students to identify misconceptions, reveal prior knowledge, examine first ideas, and check for understanding
- Provide a place for students to ask and answer their own questions, form study groups, and find help when they need it
