Discord For College
Hi, I'm really a fan of Discord not only for my use in gaming but also the entire concept as a whole. I'm able to organize stuff per server, category, channel etc it's a game changer for me. I don't need to change multiple apps just for my class, assignments etc. Here I would like to give my opinion and suggestion for an improvement that you guys can make to make it better for college use (based on my study situation).
1. Quizzes and Assignments
Make that lecturers/teachers is able to hand of or create assignments and quizzes in the server. Maybe a different channel just for this? You could follow the way Google Classroom handles this stuff. For quizzes make that they can make a form with the questions that they set and then that form/quiz could be assign to a particular role or student. For assignments, they could create something like the form but this time the questions (soft copy of the assignment) could be attach there also. A deadline should also be included. After deadline is over then lecturers/teachers should be able to give marks to their student as well as feedback.
2. Phone Support
All the features stated above should also be available on phone. Another feature that could be added is screen sharing on phone. Before this I have a class with my lecturer then she fed up that her laptop keeps crashing (a very old laptop). Then she switched to her phone but she also fed up because Discord on mobile only support camera live. We're now using Google Meet because it have this feature.
I hope you can consider my request to be added to next version on Discord especially during this Covid-19 pandemic. Any other suggestions and comments from the community is also welcome.

This article is a valuable resource for Discord users. The Beginner's Guide and sections on server setup and account settings are particularly helpful. As an educator, I appreciate the community programs and Trust & Safety guidelines. The developer support for API and SDK integrations is also a great feature. Additionally, Discord's clear communication tools can be useful for sharing important updates, such as the 9th class result.

Great suggestions, hanisirfan! Integrating quizzes and assignments directly into Discord could streamline academic interactions, and adding screen sharing on mobile would be a huge plus. These enhancements would be a game-changer for both students and educators. Speaking of improvements, including tools for organizing study materials, similar to how Surah Al-Waqiah organizes its themes, could also be beneficial. I hope Discord considers these improvements!
