[Discussions] Automatic grading/marking Canvas discussion posts

[ShaneThaw]

Problem statement:

When setting student tasks via the discussions post, there is no way to automatically mark/grade responses for posts that are allocated marks, which would save so much time.

Proposed solution:

Similar to quizzes where we can put in a word or sentence response that automatically marks/grades, it would be great to have that option in Discussions also. Firstly for every student that posts a response to provide a snapshot of engagement (but in the marksbook), and an option to allocate marks for specific responses
