You can create a discussion directly on the Course Content page so students can view it in context with other materials by clicking on the plus sign, select create and select Discussion. Discussion forums have been removed from ultra courses, but instructors can use folders to organize conversations in whatever way they like.
Create Discussion in the Discussion area using the navigation bar
Go to the Discussions tab on the navigation bar to open the course discussions page. From here, you can select the plus sign in the upper-right corner and select Add Discussion from the menu, or add a folder to organize conversations in whatever way you like. Discussion forums have been removed from ultra courses.
Name the discussion
If you don't add a name, the default title will become "New Discussion" plus the date the discussion was created.
Add instructions and items to discussion
Use the text editor to include items such as instructions, expectations, videos and readings. Learn more about the text editor here.
Make Discussion Available to Students
Students can't see a discussion until you choose to show it (default). You can create all of your content ahead of time and select what you want students to see based on your schedule. You also have the option of setting availability conditions based on date, time and performance on other items in the course gradebook.
Select Discussion Settings
Select the Discussion Settings icon (gear) to open a panel with options for the discussion.
