Hi @dbodman ! I personally LOVE discussion boards and get a lot of use out of them in my courses! Along with that, my students even indicate that *they* like our discussions, which I consider an even bigger win! 🙂

Notice how we have had over 90 hits on this board and only one comment. Some people are "listeners" and others are "talkers." How similar is this in a face-to-face setting? Is engagement only posting? https://newlearningtimes.com/cms/article/1209/the-impact-of-listening-online

Can you caption this image and relate the caption to discussion boards?

This was great for planning my PD. Thanks, everyone! I'm curious about how you all feel about the many requests for Canvas to have an anonymous discussion option.....

My University loves discussions, but our number one request by teachers (regarding the discussion area) is for "anonymous discussions". This request used to just come from Psychology, Social Work, Nursing, and a couple of other medical-related fields. Now we get it from other courses from PolySci to World Religions.

And sadly, this request has been around since 2015: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/1117-anonymous-discussion-forums
