Discussion Index
Discussion Index Page
The Discussion Index allows you to see all of the discussions in the course. Your instructor may choose to hide the Discussion index from students’ view.
Discussions are organized into three main areas:
- Pinned Discussions: These are discussions that your instructor wants you to pay specific attention to and will appear at the top of the Discussions Index page. If your instructor has not pinned discussions, then this section does not appear.
- Discussions: These are active discussions within the course and are ordered by the most recent activity.
- Closed for Comments: These discussions have been manually closed for comments, or the discussion is past the available from/until date. These are discussions that are only available in a read-only state and are ordered by most recent activity.
