OVERVIEW
Yellowdig is an online discussion tool that uses the layout and conventions of a social media platform to encourage community-building within a course.
DESCRIPTION & FEATURES
- Gamifies class interactions
- Students earn points for creating discussion posts, receiving comments and reactions from their classmates and instructors
- Automatic grading so faculty can spend less time scoring posts and more time facilitating meaningful discussions with their students
- Automatic Blackboard integration so students can just click the link within their course and join the discussion
GETTING STARTED
The first step is to reach out to LeBow InTech at lebowintech@drexel.edu. We will set up an onboarding call with you and assist with adding a Yellowdig link to your course.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
All new communities are set to use LeBow’s recommended point system by default. If you would like to review or modify these point values, please see our Setting Up Points in Yellowdig article for more information. We strongly encourage faculty to discuss any potential changes with our team before implementing them.
