Is there a way to find or create a list of students who have contributed to a discussion board? The board is not tied to the gradebook so we can't use that.
Hello @bmaas1
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. The short answer is - not really. Ideally, you could make the discussion graded and worth 0 points so that you can use the speedgrader and quickly see which students have submitted and which haven't. Besides that, you'd need to manually look through the discussion and view which students have contributed. Sometimes, we can run API calls to get lists for things like this but it doesn't look like the call exists for your specific request:

Perhaps other users have found alternatives but those are likely your options without running other reports - but even then - most of those require them to be "assignments" to compile a list or csv of which users didn't contribute.

Has anyone run into issues with Speedgrader erroring when opening a student submission from a dropbox? See image for error information. I accessed this directly through the gradebook and instructors are getting the same message.
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
