Open Issues:
| Area | Description of Issue | Resolution/Workaround |
|---|---|---|
Discussions - Threaded Replies | Disallow Threaded Replies option in Discussions. Students are unable to reply to discussion posts due to the Disallow Threaded Replies option being selected due to a change Instructure made to some discussions in August. | Instructors can navigate to the Discussion settings and check if the Disallow Threaded Replies option is selected. If it is enabled and they do want the students to reply to posts, they should uncheck the box. As of September 16, 2024, Instructure has issued a temporary button on the Discussions page in affected courses that will allow instructors to make all discussions in the course threaded if desired (instead of fixing the discussions one-by-one). This button will be available until at least the end of summer 2025. |
