Piazza is primarily a question and answer platform that has the ability to be added to Canvas. While Canvas has Discussion Boards, Piazza has some additional features:
• Students can post anonymous questions.
• Students can edit the student response to the question, similar to a wiki.
• The rich text box includes STEM format features (LaTeX, code, markdown).
The ability for students to ask questions anonymously encourages participation from students who may not feel comfortable addressing the class. Piazza allows students to teach students and promotes active learning.
