How do I download student work submitted through Discussions?

[itannaci]

I had students post their project work in Discussions for peer review--I want to save/download those projects for future reference...how can I do that? (there's no easy option like there is if it was an Assignment).

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to download them all at once as there is for assignment activities. The only way I know to get them is individually from each post. 

At our school, they never remove us from past courses, so the files would always be there.  Is that not the case at your institution?
