Student Created Discussions: Where do they go?

[JamieL23]

Hello - 

When Students are allowed to create discussions in Legacy or New Discussions, where do these student created discussions go?

Thx

Hi @JamieL23,

They will go under the Discussions area, just like instructor discussions do.  Students don't have the ability to create any graded discussions, nor can they add discussions to modules like a teacher could though.

Hope this helps answer your question!

Cool - this is exactly what I was looking for! I wondered if they'd be able to add them to a Module! So it sounds like instructors would have to be sure to have the Discussions link in the course Nav available for anyone to be able to find/see a Discussion created by a student. If I'm wrong let me know? Thanks so much again!

Hi @JamieL23,

Yes, the discussion course nav option would have to be enabled for students to use the option (and for other students to find the discussions).  Teachers could add student-created discussions to modules, but that seems like it could end up being a messy and time-consuming workflow.  I'd day enabling discussions on course navigation would definitely be the best route to go.
