Participate in Discussion Forum
Discussions in Canvas
Discussions are a very important part of communicating with your classmates and your instructor in Canvas courses. You will need to post your replies to a discussion question given to you by your instructor, and interact with your classmates by replying to their posts.
If there is an existing discussion posting, read it carefully before participating. When you are ready to add your own comments, click Reply in the blank bar below the post. If you wish to reply to another posting, simply click the word Reply in blue. Remember you can format your text using the Rich Text Editor, adding bold, italics, etc. if you choose. When you are finished typing, click Post Response to add your text to the discussion forum.
