Faculty may have noticed changes to the Canvas Discussions this semester. The enhancements to the discussions function aim to improve teachers’ and students’ experiences by offering new customizations and interactive components, including @mentions, anonymous posting, post logging, and enhanced searching and sorting capabilities. To support your use of these new features, Canvas has prepared the following resources:

• Instructional Video: This brief video provides an overview of the new features and changes that users can expect to see in the Discussions Redesign.
• Two-Page Guide: This concise document explains which features have changed and includes tips to assist you in leveraging the new features effectively.
• User Guides: We have created detailed “How-To” user guides for both the student and teacher roles. You can find supplemental resources for those using the Canvas Student (iOS/Android) and Canvas Teacher (iOS/Android) apps as well.
