In the Canvas course go to Piazza.
Click on "New Post"
This displays the new post page.
Select "Post Type", "Post To", and a folder in which to store the post
NOTE:
- If this a question that you would like a response to, select "Question" as the Type.
- You can ask a question of the entire class or individual students.
- Select an appropriate folder to store the contents of the question/answer. You may want to edit the default folder selections.
Enter a "Summary" for the question, the question "Details", and "Posting Options"
Note on Posting Options:
By default, students receive an email notification in the form of a digest every 2 hours. The digest contains details on all of the site’s posts made within that two hour period. If no posts are made, no digest email is sent.
However, students have the ability in their account settings to receive no emails, or a daily digest or real time emails.
This posting option, if checked, will send an email immediately to each student regardless of their account settings.
Click "Post My Question"
This posts the question on the Q&A page.
