Hi Rowena,
Hopefully, you are having a good day.
Please take a look at below FAQ page
Q. Does it matter which Content Experience I’m using as an instructor?A. In most cases, no. However, dates are handled slightly differently if you’re using the original Content experience or the New Content Experience (aka Lessons). In the original Content experience, it was possible to assign Due Dates to Discussions and Modules. In the New Content Experience, these dates are no longer supported. Therefore, the widget does not display Discussions with Due Dates. It does display Modules with Due Dates, but Modules are not automatically removed from the widget upon completion.
Hopefully, this helps.Kind regards,
Praful Rodrigues

I am in the new content experience. For what reason the due date feature is taken out for discussion forum and topics? It is necessary to set due dates for discussions. This is frustrating.

I agree. What is the point of having the 'work to do' list if one of the main elements of the course is not built into it?
I work with neurodivergent teens on Brightspace. They enjoy the 'work to do' list, as it helps their executive functioning skills; buuuut, they get quite dysregulated when they miss discussions. So now I've had to create assignments that say "please do the discussions". I've had to post announcements and send messages to parents, reminding them to check discussions. That's A LOT of work for something that should be intuitive.
Everything about Brightspace lacks intuition. I find myself clicking ten to twenty extra times per task. As a teacher, Brightspace demands more of my time than any other system I've used. Very disappointing and frustrating.
