Exporting Discussion Post
Hello, We have some users that would like to export Discussion Post. They would like the export to include the context of the discussion post, and the replies of the students. In addition, they would like the author's and student's names to remain anonymous. Is this possible? I did not see a way of doing this. Thank you.

changing individual discussion topics to group discussion topics
Hi! I have a whole bunch of discussions that were set up originally and I would like to convert them to group discussions. I have set up the group already, and it allowed me to make one of the topics a group discussion as I was setting up the group. I would like to do the same for all the other discussion topics, but I…

Discussion posts hidden from students when created in Content tool as a new forum?
We have turned on the New Content Experience for all of our current summer term courses.

Instant Notifications - Grade Item updates when associated with assessment

Discussion - Due Dates
Hi all, A feature that might be useful for many of us is to either have two Due Date (like Assignments which has a Due Date and End Date which could be used for late submissions or other purposes) options OR to have the ability to Manage Access for students.

Greetings, I have a few users on campus that have a single course shell that they use on a rotating basis. An example would be a student orientation course.
