discussion post responses

Is there a way to see in the Grades overview whether a student has submitted a discussion post response after a grade has been added? Right now to see if a student has added responses, I have to manually check each student's submission in Speed Grader, since there doesn't appear to be any notification within Grades or Speed Grader that a new post has been added. For regular assignments (not discussion posts), this doesn't seem to be an issue. If students resubmit or submit after a grade has been added, it's clear that something is new in Grades and in Speed Grader. Thank you!

Your question, @suzivans1, gives some excellent ideas for making Canvas Discussions more efficient. It's been my practice to grade as I read, which helps me manage the discrepancy you mention. When it's past the due date for replies to classmates, I subscribe to the discussion so that I get a notification each time a new message is made. 

I hope that the checkpoints feature that will be added to the Discussions Redesign will help with this situation as well: Discussions Redesign Coming to Canvas LMS on July 20, 2024!
