Post Discussion Questions

Posting the discussion questions with the following instruction allows the questions kept on the Discussion Board when the course is copied over to the upcoming semester. So, you don't need to post the same questions every semester.

If you have already created the weekly discussion topics on the Discussion Board such as "Week1 Discussions" or "Session 1 Discussions", skip this step and go to Step 2.

b. Click Create Topic button.


Step 2. Enter the discussion questions and discussion settings.

Enter the Title of the discussion topic, such as Week 1 Discussions. Enter the questions in the Description box. If the discussion counts toward the final grade, check the Topic is Gradable box. Enter a max point. If you allow students to edit a posted message, check Editable Posts box. Click Save.

Step 3. Revise the discussion questions posted in description box.

a. In Teach tab. Click Discussions. Click the Discussion Settings icon next to the Discussion Topic with the discussion questions to be revised.

b. Change the questions in the Description box. See the screen capture of Step 2. Click Save.
