Canvas Updates for June

 

Discussion Board Redesign

Canvas is making updates to how the discussion board both looks and functions. 

For individual discussion topics, the interface has been expanded for maximum space and ensure responsive views.

The following modifications have been made to the page:

• The toolbar has been moved to the top of the discussion thread. 
• Newest replies display at the top of the first page instead of the bottom of the last page.
• Users can sort replies from newest to oldest, or oldest to newest.
• Users can also quickly move to the top of the discussion topic at any time. 

Examples of both the old and new discussion board threads are shown below:

These changes will go into effect Saturday, June 19th. As always, contact Learning Technologies with any questions!
