To better support student-led discussions, and discussions led by individuals with a student-based role, Canvas should add the ability to post/participate in Group discussions for a group the individu...

Currently discussions can be set up to prevent students  from seeing any reply posts until after they add their own post.  Instructors can post (even before students get to the discussion) their own r...

While grading the groups it becomes difficult if the participants are not graded inside the group section, they are far apart in the main discussion topic speed grader. I don't have a reference of sub...

Emojis are only built into Canvas' Chat, but not in discussions.It would be really useful to have such a major feature integrated into discussions through a button in the text editor.Most people don't...

When I am using Discussions with Groups, I cannot make a "reply" that goes to all student groups. I would love it if an option would appear for me, the teacher, to do so, so that I could start groups ...

Idea:  Include an option to view discussion posts alphabetically by the student's names. Ideally it's set to the same order as the course's SpeedGrader and/or Gradebook. Use case 1:  Some faculty memb...

I would like to suggest that each discussion board created have it's own attachment setting instead of it being all or nothing.  I have some instructors that don't want that feature available in all d...

The way a discussion is set up, students need to click the post box to expand it to answer a discussion question.  They shouldn't have to do this.  The post box should already be there, ready for them...

The idea: Our students (higher education: BA, MBA) have recently raised the following feedback: "discussions are disorganised. There is a mix of posts from the LEX team (student support), academics (t...

As an instructor, I have students post discussion questions and responses each week. If they posted something, they get the points. However, there is no way to automatically grade these-- I have to ma...

Grading and replying to forum posts would be more efficient if both could be done from Speedgrader, instead of grading in Speedgrader and moving back to the Discussion (and finding the student's post)...

My request is to restructure the Discussion Forum to act more like a Classroom Discussion so that both Student and Instructor do no have to do the "Scroll of Death" to be part "in" the Discussion.   I...

Assignments allow for us to check "Do not count this assignment towards the final grade" while still entering a grade/points. This allows for "progress report" grade.  I would love to see this option ...

Have Canvas indicate to us when an old discussion post has been edited (mark it as "new" again) (the way Blackboard does).   Currently Canvas does not alert users when a discussion post (reply) has be...

Separate discussion permission for edit and delete posts   Current option allows users to: "Edit and delete their own posts"   I might want to allow students to "delete" their posts but not to edit th...

In order to assess and grade a student on participation in the discussion boards, it would be helpful to be able to see all of that student's posts aggregated on a single page. Of course the replies w...

As a K-12, we love that Canvas has built-in rubrics for assignments. We are also thankful that whatever rubric we create is displayed prominently, just beneath the content of the assignment while in s...

Currently, Canvas allows only one file to be attached to a discussion reply. We often use discussion boards as way for students to share and comment on each other's work. Having the ability to share m...

Greetings: Thank you for your time in reviewing this idea. It would be wonderful if Turnitin were enabled for Discussions posts and responses. This would prevent students from cobbling together inform...

I created a similar suggestion about six months ago. I figured I would try again since there is renewed interest in making discussions more user friendly. Add more distinction between discussion forum...
