Can an instructor or other student revise, edit or delete a student's response to a discussion post?
Yes, an instructor can revise, edit, or delete a student's response to a discussion post. As an instructor, I will occasionally edit a student's response if the student has used wonky formatting or created a duplicate response.
No, another student cannot revise, edit, or delete a classmate's response to a discussion post.
If you're a student and concerned that your response has been changed in some way, I would recommend reaching out to your instructor.

Ask your instructor if they edited your post.
Thank you for this reply. Yes, it is clear my posts have been edited and I have been going crazy trying to figure out what happened to them.

Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
