Communities Overview

In MySciLife, Communities are places where students and teachers can interact and learn together. Teachers can create communities for subjects they teach, individual classes, lab tables, or other groups. There is also a Main Stream Community accessible to everyone who uses MySciLife and a Teacher Community accessible to only teachers.


Communities created by teachers are private and do not have interaction with users or identities in other Communities, making them an ideal place for students to polish their posts before sharing them to the Main Stream.
