How do I begin a discussion? How can I find my class' discussions?

Heather.B.431

First time member here and currently I am feeling so confused. I have spent at least 45 minutes reading all of the FAQ's and I watches a video tutorial, reccomending I find "content" or "Discussion". When I select discussion, it appears all of the discussions are completelty unrelevant to me. Is D2L Brightspace Community open to the entire public? Or, is this open to Erie Community College Students only? (Erie community college is a SUNY community college located in WNY. If the answer is "yes, ECC only", then my next question would be; Is this discussion / question platform private to each specific class? Can someone please help me understand the sociology aspect behind D2L Brightspace Community? Thanks in advance!!

Hi Heather,

Yes, the D2L Brightspace Community is accessible to the general public, prospective and current D2L customers. Additional resources are available to registered community members, client and non-clients alike. See the https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/4008-community-tour resource for additional details.

If you are looking for information relevant to the course level Discussion tool the following is a great resource to start with https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3454-create-discussion-forums-and-topics . The discussion tool may be available to you (dependant upon you role permissions in the course) in the SUNY brightspace environment in the course offering to which you have access.

Hope that helps!
