I have seen previous posts about having a word count in SpeedGrader for Discussion Board assignments. This is helpful for rubrics that have minimum word counts. Is there an update to this idea?
Hi @skjohnson2,
Anytime the "Rich Content Editor" is used, there is a word count feature underneath the textbox. This is described in the What is the Rich Content Editor (RCE)? - Instructure Community - 12 support article.
Does that help you?

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
