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!

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…

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…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
