I can NOT find that button any where. On Blackboard - it was in the middle of the page but I am NOT finding CREATE thread anywhere......I see where I can reply to others messages but I can NOT create my own. HELP!!!!!
Hi @PaulaDeckard ...
Could you please help to clarify...are you an instructor or a student? If you are an instructor, are you looking to create a new discussion topic in your course? If so, you'd want to follow the steps in this Guide: How do I create a discussion as an instructor?. If you are a student and you want to reply to a discussion topic in your course, you would want to follow this Guide: How do I reply to a discussion as a student?.
Here's a couple video tutorials that might help, too:
Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!
Hi @Chris_Hofer, not a question, but a follow up observation / another use case example.
I'm trying to set up a discussion on one main topic (planetary exploration), but allow students options for the sub-topic (different types of objects e.g. terrestrial planets, giant planets, asteroids, KBOs, etc). I see two ways to do this:
1. Set up each sub-topic as a thread (that I start) within the main discussion, as your screenshot suggests as a possibility.
2. Set up a different discussion for each sub-topic.
The grading for this is actually more confusing if I choose option (2) which is what you suggested to others here. Here's why:
Why would it not be sensible to actually set up sub-topics? As others note, other LMSs including Moodle do that, and it is what I think most people would expect coming from discussion forums elsewhere on the web.
Enhance your access to articles, forums, and events—and to participate by sharing insights, engaging in discussions, and connecting with your network of edtech peers.
Hi everyone, I am new to the role and trying to set the new term in Canvas for Year 12 graduating in 2027. With the Sentral sync, the Year 12 courses are created automatically with change of class name, however in Canvas the new course has the old term and SIS ID. So , instead of Y12_2027 it is still Y12_2026. I have tried…
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
