Is there a way to create a group of discussion questions for one class session and to set settings for the whole group - ex. liking, publish/unpublish, etc.? Instructor
Hello @MelissaFisher94 -
Each discussion board has its own settings and it's not possible to change them as an entire group.
One thing you might do is set up one discussion board with your preferred settings, and then duplicate that board. After you duplicate it, you can change the question/prompt and information in the rich content editor. Discussion boards (along with all other assignments & quizzes) are automatically unpublished until you choose to publish them.
You can also do a bulk update to due dates and availability dates.
Hope this helps!

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…
