How do I create a discussion in the Student app on my Android device?

If an instructor allows, students may be able to create new discussions. However, student discussions are always published immediately to the course. If you cannot create a discussion, your instructor has restricted this feature.

The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
