What is Notebowl? How do I install Notebowl?

Resolution

Notebowl is a social learning platform that is designed to naturally extend class discussions online. Questions are easily answered in a place that everyone can see, while comments, likes, and sharing encourage participation. Student-friendly discussion boards drive interaction with familiar social features like comments and profile pictures. Set metrics for posts and comments, word counts and see analytics on the backend for grading. The quick grader makes it a breeze to evaluate assigned discussions effectively.
