Piazza Q&A Launches App within Microsoft Teams to Make Virtual University Course and High School Class Delivery More Dynamic for Instructors
Summary
The Piazza Q&A platform brings unique capability to Teams, rounding out a complete suite of education tools for instructors in a single environment. With more schools and universities supporting classes online in response to COVID-19, the coupling of Piazza and Teams adds streamlined workflows for educators, making their transition and ongoing delivery of virtual courses easier. Piazza is a wonderful medium for people to share information,” said Eric Edlund, Assistant Professor of Physics, SUNY Cortland. It has since expanded to work with top U.S. academic institutions and departments outside of STEM-related disciplines as well as select high schools amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Students from all disciplines use Piazza to work together collaboratively despite differences in learning levels, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, and instructors address their questions as they arise.
