You can rename the thread, provide the prompt for the discussion, and change the settings of the discussion.
Select appropriate discussion settings:
Display on Course Content Page: Using the above method, this will be selected by default. Post First: Students will not be allowed to see other threads and replies to threads until they post their own thread. Grade Discussion: Determine if the discussion will be assigned grades. After checking this box, you will be prompted to complete the assignment settings. Align with Goals: If you have created course goals in Blackboard, you can select the goals and attach them to a particular discussion board. Group Discussion: Allows the instructor to ensure that the discussion will be visible only to a particular group in the course.
You can have a Discussion board that does not live in your Course Content from the Discussion page, located in your Course Navigation. This page will also list all discussion boards in your course. |
