many discussion topics as desired★ Discussions can also be created as an assignment for grading

purposes (and seamlessly integrated with the Canvas Gradebook)

★ Discussions can be used to help students start thinking about an upcoming assignment or class discussion or as a follow-up on a conversation or questions that began in a face-to-face classroom.

★ It can be used to test student comprehension of important points made in class, debate contradictory ideas, or brainstorm different approaches to a class problem.

★ Discussions are not the same as Announcements.
