[ARCHIVED] Students assigned to sections cannot see discussions as part of normal flow of content

Hey there,

I've had an issue with a subject where we had students in two sections: A and B. When they clicked next from one page to the next, it would always skip over the discussions. For example,

4.1 Marketing basics

4.2 Marketing basics discussion

4.3 Marketing advanced

In the above case, when they clicked next on the 4.1 page, Canvas would ignore the 4.2 discussion and move onto 4.3, meaning a lot of students did not know the discussion existed unless they actively looked for it in the discussions tab. We removed one student from their section and reassigned her and it seemed to help, but we're only now realizing it was a problem for most students. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what your fix was.

Thanks very much!

Hello, Here are some thoughts:

  • was the discussion Published?
  • If so, was it a graded discussion, and therefore did you you Assign it to the sections (or to everyone?).  If it is not "assigned" to the section, they will not be able to see/access it.
