PARQR: A Time-saving Tool for Piazza Users
PARQR is a powerful Chrome add-on developed by Chirag Tailor. It aims to enhance the student experience on Piazza, an online learning platform, by providing automated recommendations for similar posts. With PARQR, users can save valuable time when seeking answers to their questions.
One of the standout features of PARQR is its real-time recommendation system. As users ask questions on Piazza, PARQR analyzes the content and suggests related posts that might already have the answers they seek. This feature not only helps students find solutions quickly but also encourages collaboration and knowledge sharing within the platform.
In addition to the student-focused features, PARQR also offers an instructor dashboard. This dashboard allows teaching assistants (TAs) to efficiently collaborate and track unanswered posts in large online courses. It provides a centralized view of unanswered questions, enabling TAs to prioritize their responses and ensure that no queries go unnoticed.
PARQR is a free add-on and can be easily installed on the Chrome browser. To integrate PARQR into your course and start benefiting from its time-saving capabilities, simply contact the PARQR team at
