Making Discussions visible to Students

[jami_houck]

Students are indicating that they cannot see or locate my discussions.  I have them published and I can access them.  How do I remedy this?

Thank you!

Hi  @jami_houck ,

I want to check a couple of things here. The most likely reason I can think of would be that the Discussion menu item is hidden in your course settings. If you have a look through this guide How do I manage Course Navigation links? can you please see if it is disabled there, if so, dragging it to enable should resolve the issue.

If this is already enabled, I would recommend checking the Student View https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13122-415261153 that may point you to the problem (and any extra detail you can provide would be useful.

Hope that helps!

"Dragging it to enable"? Can you explain where I drag it to?

In addition to these solutions, you need to make sure there is at least one discussion started in the course by the instructor.  Otherwise the student isn't able to even see the discussion option in the navigation menu.
