Can I combine all of a student's discussion work into one document?

I'd like to be able to review student discussion work for possible AI use. However, most student discussion posts are too short to be reviewed accurately. Is there a way in Canvas to see all of a student's posts from a course on one page, so that it could be copied and pasted into an AI detection platform? Thanks!

Hi @DanielBarwick

I don't think there is a way to see all of a student's posts (from various discussions in a course) on one screen or page.

I only know of a way to see all of a student's posts in one particular discussion, if it is a graded discussion:

You can learn more about grading a graded discussion in SpeedGrader.

You can see a few "recent" discussion posts on the student's user page, under "recent messages". I don't have a lot of discussions, so I don't know how many it shows, but at least 3.

Alternatively, if you have several distinct discussions, you may need to use the API to gather them all.

My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Change Group Assignments to NOT save if no groups are selected
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
Has anyone experienced the "Empty Course" page for Speedgrader, when there actually are students assigned and active on the assignment?
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
Problems with grading since update
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
