James Madison University has embedded a digital commons in its website, to better support students in continuing education programs. The institution has adopted software from InScribe, which sets up Q&A communities in online destinations where people already congregate, such as the learning management system. In the case of James Madison, InScribe's software shows up on the public website and also in Canvas, for use by students enrolled in the institution's School of Professional & Continuing Education. The goal is to offer more interactivity among students and university staffers, increase student engagement and give participants ways to find help and resources, share ideas and connect with one another.
