It allows you to easily track which students have responded to the question that is posed and grade those responses. When integrating question posts into your teaching, they can be used to enhance class discussions, as well as promoting out-of-class discussions for your students.

You are now able to create short-answer and multiple-choice question posts within the Stream of your Classroom, assign a due date, and grade and return questions with feedback.
