titleNEW! Changes to discussions in UCV
  • Discussions in the Ultra Course View don't use forums and threads.  Instead, instructors can use folders to organize conversations in whatever way they like.

  • Students can delete discussions they've created.  There is no option to prevent students from deleting discussions they've created.  When students delete a discussion, other users see a message about the deletion. 

  • Discussion analytics allows you to view the entire discussion along with all responses and replies. Discussion analytics include average word count and responses, as well as top responses and participants.
