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.

Hope that helps.

Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
In legacy SpeedGrader, the instructors see students' initial post followed by replies. Why is it no longer listed that way in the Modernized SpeedGrader? Grading is made easier if the initial post is first, making it easily identifiable.
