Hello.
This video is going to show you
how to navigate the discussion tool in Canvas for grading
as of March 13th, 2025.
Canvas has defaulted back to their previous way of grading,
meaning that if you click on the dots in the upper right hand
corner of a discussion, come down to Open Speed Grader.
You will see that you only see
the discussions posts of that students.
You don't see all of the discussions in context.
So if you wanted to see the discussions in context, what you could do
is come up to the gear in upper left hand corner, click on that, click on options,
come down to show replies and contact Radio button.
Click on that and click Save Settings.
You will see that the right hand menu or control has changed.
We can see that this student has three discussions in context.
I can click this right facing chevron single right facing chevron,
and it will just march me forward through each discussion.
And we will also see once I get to three of three
this becomes grayed out and I can no longer click them.
It used to carousel around but it doesn't do that anymore.
I can now go backwards in history and I can click either one,
or I can click the double chevron and that will bring me back to the beginning.
And so this way of working works
with both checkpoint discussions, which is where you give a due date
for the first post and a second to due date for additional posts.
And so it works there, and it also works in the standard way
that we had previous works.
Just one due date for the entire discussion.
This choice of which way you would like it to show
does remain or stay persistent when you leave Canvas,
or if you, leave the discussion and then come back
and open a new discussion later.
What whichever setting you had previously set is what will be available.
We believe this will need to be corrected for each course.
That's how Canvas usually runs, but it's easy enough to come up to the gear.
Go to options, make your selection, save your settings, and then keep moving.
Thanks so much. Right?
