This explains everything... Not. The instructions are lacking one key element and that's how actually access and post discussions for my specific class properly.
While I would be glad to help, I am a bit unclear what specifically you need help with. The best I can glean is that you need help with using Discussions. If that is true, once you go to your class, look for the Discussions option in the course menu (the same menu that has Home, Modules, Pages...). Once you click on Discussions, then you will see a list of discussions. If you are trying to respond to a discussion, select the desired discussion, then click on Reply at the bottom of the page to open the text box to type your reply. If you are trying to create a discussion, look for a blue button in the upper right that says +Add Discussion. If you do not see that, then your teacher has not turned on the ability for students to create discussions. You will have to talk to them directly.
If you need help with a particular assignment, we do not have access to your course and will not be able to help. Those questions would be better sent to your teacher. This is a community forum for users seeking help with Canvas and we are not directly connected with your school.If I misunderstood, and you were not needing help with Discussions but with another feature in Canvas, please share what you need help with so either myself or another user can try to help you.
I'll add another step to try: if there is no "Discussions" option on the course menu, then a particular discussion might be accessible through "Modules" or linked from an Announcement or a Page.
Asking your instructor directly (in person, messaging through the Canvas Inbox, or any other way you contact them) is your best bet if these did typical steps did not help, because the answer depends on how they have set up the class. And if you ask for clarification, it might help everyone else in the class, too!
I recently discovered an error in a quiz question for an exam my students have already taken. I want to regrade that question so that anyone who had that question in their Quiz would get a point regardless of their answer since it was not possible to answer it given the choices. Unfortunately, as best I can tell, because…
I assigned the first draft of an assignment. Each student got rubric comments from me and from one peer. The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
