Piazza: Use with Moodle

Piazza is an external "Q and A" or discussion platform that instructors can link to a Moodle course. Piazza is similar to the built-in Moodle Forum activity, but has additional features designed to can help instructors manage discussions and ensure students can ask questions and get meaningful answers in large courses. LITS manages a small institutional license for Piazza that enables ad-free use.
