Tool Search: Discussions
The Discussions tool in System Administration allows users to view all discussions for the selected school, post in discussions, and resolve flags. Discussions cannot be created here, but users can interact with existing discussions. This tool was designed to provide a view of how discussions are being used in sections and to resolve time-sensitive flags if teachers are unavailable.
Admins can view discussions, create posts, and resolve flags.
Discussions that have passed their End Date display in gray text and are sorted to the bottom of the list.
Teachers create discussions by aligning them to an curriculum item. Two kinds of discussions are available in Instruction, scored discussions that are aligned to an assignment and discussions that are not scored and are aligned to a resource.
Students respond to discussions through Campus Student.
