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!
Hello, I'm writing to see if anyone else has noticed this change in Canvas and can explain when and why it happened. I can't find anything in the release notes about it, and Canvas support says it is "intended." Checkpoints in student view previously displayed directly below and slightly indented from the discussion forum,…
My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
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…
