About this Tool
InScribe offers a way to get questions out of email and into a place where everyone can benefit from both the questions and the answers. It promotes student-student, student-instructor, and instructor-instructor interaction and encourages peers to help each other.
Students can post anonymously, interact one-on-one with instructors, find answers to their questions before they ask them, and earn badges and achievements for helping others in their community. Instructors can promote answers, make announcements, crowd-source the best answers, create just-in-time resources, and track student participation.
