I see release notes and a walkthrough for setting discussion checkpoints (multiple due dates), but I don't see it as an option when setting up (or editing) a discussion. What am I missing?
Your institution may not have enabled it yet (mine hasn't).
You may need to ask your local Canvas support about it. It could be they have a reason for why they haven't enabled it yet (like mine), or that they just haven't considered it and are open to enabling the feature.
For anyone else coming across this, besides making sure that your institution has enabled the feature, you will not see the "Assign graded checkpoints" setting until the discussion has been set as "Graded".

It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
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…
