Back in June 2021, Canvas debuted a redesign of their discussion board. Learning Tech rolled out this redesign but then was made aware that the redesign was lacking certain features of the classic discussion board, most importantly the ability to add rubrics.
On September 1st Canvas is pushing out an update to the redesign that will include rubric functionality for all discussion boards. At this point, if you would like to try out the redesign, Learning Tech would be happy to help you enable it!
As a reminder, the redesign includes:
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:
