When you import a QTI file into an Item Bank according to  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-questions-from-a-QTI-package-into-an-item-bank/ta-p/966, the name of the Item Bank is changed from whatever the Bank was na...

Is it just me or does the new discussions glitch out a lot, and really bog down your system? Specifically if I have one set of replies open and I click on another it switches to the new one, then closes the slide over. It regularly feels like the int...

So far, I have not found a way to display Discussion threads in Ascending (newest to oldest) order rather than Descending order. Does anyone know if there is a workaround to this? It would be very helpful for a new project we are working on at the co...

The RCE Auto-Save feature doesn't seem to work with the Discussion Redesign, especially with the reply sidebar. It is really easy to accidentally click out of the reply bar and lose everything you typed out. This can be very frustrating when the post...

We recently asked our teams of instructional designers, technology support, and instructor mentors to review the discussion redesign. Listed below is some of the feedback received. Each row is a person's response. I dislike that I have to click into ...

Hi everyone! If you haven't had the Discussions Redesign enabled recently, you may be missing out on new features – and we'd love your feedback! In addition to the previous release of fully anonymous Discussions, we are thrilled to announce that you ...

I did some light accessibility review/testing of the Discussion Board/Announcement Redesign and wanted to share some concerns: Per my testing, I noted that there is no text alternative alert to notify a non-visual user that they have an @mention in a...

As an instructor I respond to student posts, often taking 20 minutes to address problems, add links, and expand the discussion, but now when I go to submit my comment, if I miss the REPLY button in the bottom right corner and accidentally hit the gre...

Will the Discussions Redesign include the ability for instructors to annotate when grading discussion posts in Speedgrader? It would be great if that can be added!  I noticed this in some earliest posts in Canvas Community but wasn't able to find in ...

Will there be a way to move through Announcements the same way one can move through the different parts of a Module?  In other words, once I have read an announcement, I don't have to click on the Announcement menu and scroll back to where I was. I s...

This Canvas idea Automatic Grading - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com) doesn't mention Discussions Redesign, but could it be added to features planned for the future?  Make Automatic grading for Post and Reply discussions possible, points given f...

I had chance to take a deeper look at the discussion redesign and I have some questions and feedback.  Reporting - The report button appears in teacher view. If a teacher reports a post, does it go to the admin? If so, where in the admin can I see it...

In order to use the anonymous discussion feature instructors must turn on the option to allow students to create discussion topics. We have actively discouraged instructors from allow this option to be checked because if there are graded discussions ...

I just tested out the anonymous discussion feature: As an instructor, I created an anonymous discussionUsing a separate student account, I posted a reply, and it appeared anonymously as expectedAs the instructor, I received an email notification info...

I love the idea of allowing students to anonymously post and reply in Discussions and am looking forward to that release in BETA. However, I'm not thrilled with the idea that I can't have graded discussions in anonymous mode. Many high school student...

Hey folks! I've noticed a few things in the new discussion/annoucement feature that I thought would be useful to share. First, I created a discussion, but was unable to add it to a module later. I had to create a new discussion when adding items to t...

We have noticed that discussions with the redesign enabled have a generic "Canvas LMS" as the page title, i.e. the HTML <title> in the <head>. Previously discussions had the page title generated as "Topic:" and the title of the discussion, which was ...

It would be nice to have a discussions just between the students and the teacher. I don't always want my students to see what others' are saying. I understand I can use the assignments for this as well, but I don't want it to be graded (once I select...

Hi, everyone! My name is Allison, and I'm the lead product designer for Canvas collaborations. I know some of you are aware of recent changes to our team. I am excited to engage with you moving forward, and I'll be doing my very best to keep communit...

We just tested the new discussion redesign (Dec. 12, 2021), and neither students nor instructor received a notification of a mention or reply. We checked notification settings and tried it both subscribed and unsubscribed. It just didn't work. Are ot...

When providing a Discussions prompt for assessment, I usually ask my students to reply to one of several sub-prompts. For example, I might announce a general topic in my RCE Instructions, but then ask students to reply to one of several, more focused...

My issue with the "mark as read" dots in the Redesign is that I might mark a parent post as "read" but once a new reply is added, the dot by the parent post turns green again. This can be confusing as I might think "oh, I must have missed that one" a...

I am struggling with being unable to respond to students' responses to other students! All I find is the word QUOTE at the bottom of the response. Threading is not easily seen. Even my students are not happy! I am trying to find ways to make this wor...

You have clearly put a lot of thoughts into this, however, this could be tricky to use  on mobile.. it would be very handy to be able to email/text your response/comment and being able to include the attachments and the web links   is vital. At my pl...

The redesign is completely antithetical to what I use discussions for. I want to see replies as I am scanning through the list of responses. I want students to read all of those, and if they have to click extra links to get to them, they won't. Oh su...

Any update on the date of the next release? Looking forward to checkpoints!  

Hi all - new to the community so I hope this is the right place to post this suggestion. Many of our faculty use discussions/forums as conversation starters for class, and thus give involvement in discussions a single participation grade. So what the...
