Discussion Board and topic notifications
Good Morning Everyone, I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to resolve this particular request I received. I have an instructor that wants the student's minibar to receive notifications whenever they make a topic in a forum. I recommended the calendar but it doesn't give mini bar notifications. Subscribing to the…

Notifications on Discussion for Extended Student.
We have a professor who is needing to mark a student as Incomplete for the semester. This would give this particular student access to the course outside of the normal availability dates of the course, allowing them to submit work and things like that. My question is if this student with the extension comments on another…

Definition of “Anonymous” differs
An instructor brought this to my attention the other day. Has anyone noticed that the definition of "Anonymous" is different between “Discussion Topics” and “Surveys”. In fact, in the context of discussion posts, the term "Anonymous" seems a bit misleading. As an Instructor, here’s what I see when I click on the ? to see a…

Instructor accessing their cumulative posts
Our instructors used to have the ability to go into Discussions, Access Topic, and view their own posts. They are saying that the ability is now gone. I didn't see that as a Continuous Delivery, but perhaps there is a setting or variable that has changed? Or is there a new way for them to view all their posts just as they…

I'm looking for a way to personally respond to learners in a discussion board through a private thread once their initial thread has been posted. Is there a button allowing instructors to toggle responses between responding to all learners and individual learners?

Are there any guidelines to prevent slowdown in loading large Discussions?
I am asking on behalf of a faculty person who has experienced slowdown loading a discussion topic. The students were embedding a Padlet iframe which was fine, but once they started replying to each others' posts she experienced slowdown.

Why can't we specify due dates for graded discussion topics?
I'm new to Brightspace. I've searched the articles and discussions, but see nothing about what seems like a very natural and obvious issue: Why aren't due dates able to be specified for graded discussion topics? Restricting availability doesn't allow students to post late--neither does locking. I would like to set a due…
