Create a Discussion

As an instructor, you can create a discussion for your course. This article outlines a variety of options to choose from in order to customize a discussion for your course.

Notes:

Discussions can be graded or ungraded. If a student attaches a file to an ungraded discussion, the file size counts toward the student's storage quotas. However, attachments added to graded discussions do not count toward the student's storage quotas.
Students can create discussions in student groups. If allowed by course settings, students can also create discussions in courses.
