Allow instructor to see names of students who "like" announcement comments

[dlynch29]

Currently, we can see only the number of likes on an announcement. I want to use the "likes" as a tool to see who is reading and responding to announcements, but without seeing the specific names, I can't do that.  Would this be helpful to anyone else?

YES YES YES. I would like to see the list of names for who "liked" a discussion post as well. Seems silly to not have the capability for teachers.

I agree. I'd really like to be able to use "likes" as a way for students to get credit for participating in a discussion, but I can't do that if I don't know who has liked something.

I would LOVE to have this feature.  As already mentioned, I would use it to track which students opened and read the announcement.

I agree. I would also use it for students to indicate that they have read some information or performed a task they have been asked to do e.g. download an important document, so it would be good to see who has done it.

I agree.  I would also like to be able to see which students are participating in discussions by seeing who has "liked" a post.  I'm not sure why that wouldn't be easily available.
