Hi Folks,

I do a number of discussions wherein I create several threads and students respond to one or more of them.  In some cases, the content I put in each thread is significant, a kind of jigsaw structure for students to choose 2-3 of 5 options for their own replies. In others, it's more like "sign up below for your choice of ..." kind of thing.  Either way, it is tedious to create these every quarter in every class (and sometimes in 4-5 different discussions over the quarter).

Is there a way for teachers to create in a single discussion assignment several sticky threads that copy over quarter to quarter?  Is there a hack that I'm missing or do folks do this sort of thing via some other method (like multiple discussions rather than a threaded discussion)?

Thanks,

Marylynne
