66. F.A.Q
Must students create an account?
- Students can post as guest. Ensure your canvas settings allow guests to post
stickies. However, you will not be able to track which students have posted.
- To overcome this problem teachers can instruct students to post their name
under tag (without space) for tracking purpose.

68. F.A.Q
Can I share the link to the canvas to students via email instead of creating
group to invite them?
- Yes, you can. But remember to uncheck “List on Public Canvases” so that
other users on Linoit are unable to view it.

69. Cons of Linoit
Users are unable to reply to stickies
- But teacher can instruct students to post their comment or reply next to the
sticky they’re replying to.

70. Cons of Linoit
Teachers are unable to track which students have posted a sticky.
