Piazza is a web application that can be integrated with Canvas. To comply with BC privacy legislation, students will need to create a Piazza account and agree to the terms of use the first time they use the tool. You can make Piazza accessible through the side navigation bar in Canvas, or you can link directly to it in a module.

Add Piazza to the side bar:

• Log in to your Canvas course.
• Go to Settings.
• Select the Navigation tab
• Scroll down until you find Piazza.
• Click the gear, and select Enable.
• Click Save.

Add Piazza to a module:

• Log in to your Canvas course.
• Go to Modules.
• Click the Add item button on a module.
• Select External Tool from the drop-down menu.
• Select Piazza and then add item.

Once you've created a link to Piazza, ask your students to log in or create an account. They can do so by following these steps:

• Access Piazza through the link that you have created.
• Enter their email address and set a password or—if they already have a Piazza account—enter the name and email address for that account.
• If an account already exists, Piazza will confirm that and ask for the password to your existing Piazza account.
• Click Continue to launch Piazza.

For more information about using the tool after setup, please reference Piazza's help topics or read about some real-life teaching examples.
