Hello, I am a Practicum Advisor for Teacher Candidates at the University of Windsor's Faculty of Education.

I have created a Discussion Area titled, Practicum Reflections, and used the feature Single User Member Specific Groups to create private Topics for each Teacher Candidate to share ongoing reflections.

My quesiton is about the possibility of inclduing assessment. Currently, I have provided feedback in the Discussion Topics, but then also created an Assignment to assign a PASS/FAIL after reviewing the reflections.

Thanks in advance

    Hi Joe,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    I understand that you are inquiring about including an assessment for Discussion Posts.

    If you have added an assessment to a discussion thread, you can assess a student's participation in discussion topics. For reference, here is a detailed community article that provides the steps on how to assess users in discussion threads:

    You may find this useful compared to having a separate assignment to assign a grade. I hope this information helps. Kindly let us know if you have any further questions!

    Best regards,
    Abrar
