How does it
Work?
Yellowdig is a plug-and-play, community-building platform with grade passback through your existing LMS. The platform works on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. Yellowdig is primarily used in curricular settings, but also works great to build co-curricular, faculty or other specialized communities

For students & instructors:
Automatic grading system
Our patented points system rewards students as they interact, comment, and post. Students can always access their grade to see where they stand throughout the duration of the course, starting from day 1. Thanks to Yellowdig's integration with Learning Management Systems (LMSs), grades get passed back automatically, which saves instructors a ton of administrative work.
