How do I allow users to report a reply in a discussion as an instructor?

Users can report replies from the Discussions page by default.

Users can report replies by clicking the Options icon for the reply and clicking the Report link. When a reply is reported by a user, the user must indicate why the reply is being reported (inappropriate, offensive and/or abusive, or other). Reporting a reply cannot be undone.

Notes:

  • If a user was associated with a reported reply in an Anonymous discussion, the anonymity remains and won't be displayed even for instructors view.
  • Currently, you cannot identify who reported a specific discussion reply.
  • To be notified of the reported replies, adjust and set your Reported Reply notification.
