New Discussions in Canvas
Canvas discussions have been updated to provide improved functionality for faculty! Here are some of the new features now available through Canvas discussions:
- Edit – To edit a discussion, click the three vertical dots on the upper right
- Reply – The Reply button is now a colored button providing additional ease-of-use for students.
- Reply Threads – Reply threads are now listed underneath a student’s post. Click on Replies and the reply thread will expand. At the top of the discussion, click on the Expand Threads button to expand all discussion threads.
- View Split Screen – Click View Split Screen at the top and then Replies under a student’s post to see the student’s post including all replies appear on the right side of the screen. This alleviates the need to expand reply threads. Click View Inline at the top to return to one screen.
- Sort and Search options – The default is the newest post first. Click the Sort button at the top to sort showing the oldest post first. A search button is available at the top left of the discussion. Search is available by author or keywords.
