How do I view Discussions in the Teacher app on my Android device?
In Canvas Teacher, you keep track of all course discussions.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.

In the Dashboard, tap the name of the course you'd like to view.
Open Discussions
Tap the Discussions link.
View Discussions
The most recent discussion will always appear at the top. However, replies to the discussions stay housed within the discussion itself. Unread replies are indicated by a dot next to the discussion [1]. You can view the number of total replies [2] and the number of replies you have not read within each discussion [3].
