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.
Once enabled, within your school's Canvas admin pages, it would be listed as a Feature Option like this:
There are essentially four "states" that this Feature Option has:
Hopefully that helps to clarify things for you. Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

Hope that helps.

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.
