Discussion Questions

[MistiStevens]

How do you turn on the discussion questions for students to see them?

[SusanNiemeyer · Accepted solution]

I prefer to organize everything in Modules: Discussions, Assignments, Pages, and Quizzes. For my students to see these items, I need to publish both the individual items and the Modules that contain them.

In the Course Navigation Bar, the students can click on Modules. I don't enable Discussions, Assignments, Pages, or Quizzes in the students' Course Navigation Bar because I want the students to proceed through the Modules item by item.

So, publish the individual Discussion and the Module which contains it. Also, set the Discussion availability and due dates.

@SusanNiemeyer Thank you so much for responding with the excellent recommendation to add Discussion to Modules and Customizing Modules. 

@MistiStevens To add to what Susan has shared about good course design, here is a handy  1-2-3 of getting started in Canvas with link to Canvas Guides and the Panda training videos
