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.

Discussion - Due Dates

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…

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.
