How can I view a complete history of a student's posts in all course discussions?

If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent.

Thank you

Hi @lsorroche,

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to do that build in to Canvas. The only course-wide option I know of to see the recent posts, but that seems to max out at 10. If you're a strong coder, you could use the Canvas API to programmatically search through all discussions for posts by a user, but you'd just get back HTML instead of nice visual results.

When feature requests become available again, this might be a good one to suggest.

I am not sure if you will see all discussion posts. I have checked a course with 8 discussions and the posts were listed after I did the following:

Go to the People page and click on a student's name. The right panel opens with student details. Click on the student's name in the right panel. You will see the "Recent Messages" in the lower section of the page with a list of discussion comments from various discussions in the course.

Course Pacing and allowing students to choose the order in which they address two topics, or which of several equivalent assignments to complete? Is it possible?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
How does "Participation: Course" + manually input start/end dates play with Course Pacing?
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].
