Why do some announcement show a "Reply" and others don't? I would like to turn off "reply". It shows even when I deselect the "Allow Participants to Comment"
Hi @jeff_plant ...
I tested this out in my own sandbox course, and even though I did not select the "Allow Participants to Comment" checkbox, I could still see an option to "Reply" when viewing the announcement. However, when I used the "Test Student" account to view the announcement, I see a message that says, "This topic is closed for comments." So, students would not be able to add comments to that particular announcement. I hope this helps a bit.

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…
