What are Discussions in Canvas?

Discussions are an important part of communicating with your classmates and your Instructor in Canvas Courses. Many online courses rely on discussion forums to simulate class room discussions, to help engage students and to create a learning community. Your instructor may grade discussions and require multiple responses, most of the time these will be in the form of one original post and a response to one of your classmates postings. You will need to read your class syllabus carefully to identify what the discussion requirements are for your course and what your instructor's expectations are.

Be sure to read the question and posts carefully and be sure to take the time to think about your response(s).
