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.
Thank you so much! I like the grade as 0 idea, that's super helpful, I'll recommend that to the faculty member. Thank you!

Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
