[Discussions] Discussion "available until date" visible to students

[kholt12]

Problem statement:

Students are currently only able to see the "due date" of discussion boards. Given that instructors often leave assignments open for late periods, as well as the additional time we allow for replies, students should also be able to see the "available until" date for discussion boards, just as they are able to for other assignment types.

Proposed solution:

I propose the available until date be added to the student's view of a discussion board assignment.

User role(s):

instructor,student

Hi @kholt12 -

Thank you for sharing this request with the Instructure Community! With Canvas Release: Discussions/Announcements Redesign, the discussion availability dates are displayed at the top of each student discussion thread. Because this functionality exists, we are placing this idea in the Will Not Consider status.

If your school hasn't explored the Redesign feature yet, we encourage you to do so! We also have a Discussions/Announcements Redesign User Group where early adopters collaborate with each other and the Instructure Product Team. We hope you are able to join those conversations!
