I have a discussion Topic in which the students are asked to reply to threads anonymously. In the stats, we are unable to see the number of replies from each student. We are able to identify the student by useing the "author" link on the reply. How can I get stats on how many replies each student completes?
For one of my courses, we utilize discussion boards, and we are expected to format using APA7 guidelines. I am unable to indent, as when I press tab, it takes me to the next button instead of the usual expected indentation.

I have a question about editing the navigation bar in Brightspace.

Student says they submitted and has a screen shot of their submission but I do not see the discussion posted.
Hi, I am trying to figure out how to expand all posts in a topic so that I can print them out for review. I appreciate your help!
In the discussion forum settings, I can choose "learners must start a thread before they can view or reply to other threads". The other option is "allow learners to hide their name from other learners". Is there any way I can apply both?
