Manage discussions and facilitate community
In this article: A video overview of Ruzuku's collaboration features, including discussion threads, assignments, polls, and quizzes. All Plans
Ruzuku gives you several tools for getting students actively involved in your course. Discussions, assignments, polls, and quizzes all work together to turn passive content consumption into active learning.
This video walks through each of these features and how to use them:
What's covered in this video
Discussion threads — Every lesson has a built-in discussion area where students can post comments, ask questions, and respond to each other. You can also add specific discussion prompts to guide the conversation.
Assignments — Add structured assignments to any lesson. Students submit their work, and you review it from the Review Assessments page. See Review student assignments for full details.
Polls — Quick questions you can add to lessons for instant feedback. Useful for gauging understanding or sparking reflection.
Quizzes — Multiple-choice or short-answer questions that test student understanding of the material.
Where to go for more detail
Each collaboration feature has its own setup process:
- Course-wide discussion forums — Create categories for broader conversations that aren't tied to a specific lesson. See Create course-wide discussion forums.
- Reviewing assignments — How to see, respond to, and grade student submissions. See Review student assignments.
- Building community — Strategy and best practices for fostering engagement across your course. See Build community: an overview.
