Discussions

Last changed: 15 May 2023

Canvas provides an integrated system for class discussions, allowing both instructors and students to start and contribute to as many discussion topics as desired.

Discussions allows for interactive communication between two or more people; users can participate in a conversation with an entire class or group.

Discussions can also be created as an assignment for grading purposes (and seamlessly integrated with the Canvas Gradebook), or simply serve as a forum for topical and current events. Discussions can also be created within student groups.

Discussion topics can be organized as focused or threaded discussions.
