With Class Threads, a conversation can start anywhere
Questions can pop up anytime, anywhere—not just during lectures or office hours. Class Threads facilitates peer-to-peer learning asynchronously by letting students ask questions and exchange ideas while working through assignments. This innovative feature takes the digital conversations students are already having and puts them directly into course content, giving them the best context to share knowledge with their peers. This also helps create a sense of belonging, which has shown to have a positive impact on student success.1
