Reminder and New Information on Canvas Discussions
To Know:听Canvas updated Discussions last summer to include an option to disallow threaded replies. When enabled, students will not be able to reply to other students鈥 posts within a discussion.听
As part of this update Canvas may have automatically enabled the 鈥淒isallow Threaded Replies鈥 setting to preexisting discussions for current and prior courses.听It will be important for faculty to review and possibly update this setting if copying courses forward to Spring 2025.
To Do: In courses that contain at least one discussion where this new option was automatically enabled there is a temporary button which allows instructors to uncheck the "Disallow Threaded Replies" option for all discussions in that course.听 听We recommend checking the discussion settings in your active courses and master course shells as soon as possible to verify that the 鈥淒isallow Threaded Replies鈥 option is not enabled for discussions where students need to reply to each other鈥檚 posts. The button to fix all discussions in a course will be available until Thursday, October, 31 after which time discussions will have to be updated individually. See the听听for more information.听
