I'd like to limit certain discussion groups to only students who have submitted a specific assignment. The discussion would allow students to ask questions about the solution to the assignment. If they haven't yet submitted the assignment, they wouldn't see the discussion. I've checked requirements for modules but can't seem to find a way to control access to discussions.
How have others approached this?
Thanks Kelly. I know how to set requirements like viewing a page, submitting assignment, and completing a discussion. However, I want to prevent students from seeing a discussion unless they’ve submitted an assignment. In my testing, I can place a link to a discussion as an element in a module. It remains greyed out until the element before that one is completed. However, if a student goes straight to the discussions, he or she can still view and reply to the discussion even if they haven’t completed the previous requirement.
What am I missing?
Hi John Michl
Thank you for the clarification.
Currently, the ability to hide a discussion from view until triggered by an event is not possible in Canvas.
I would suggest submitting this as a feature idea. Learn how at How does the feature idea process work?
