Is Canvas "discussion checkpoints" working yet? It would be great to use it for summer courses.
Hi there, @catherine-wissi ...
I did a bit of searching here in the Community for the documentation on discussion checkpoints, and here is what I found:
I'm not sure if you are a Canvas administrator at your school, but it looks like the Canvas admin would need to contact their assigned CSM (Customer Success Manager) to get this enabled in your Canvas environment.
