These steps apply to Focused and Threaded Discussion topics.

You can set up a Discussion that is graded in Canvas.

Replying to a discussion topic is simple and straightforward.

Note: The example shows how to reply in a threaded discussion, but the process of replying is the same for a focused discussion.

You can insert a podcast feed for your Discussion topics.

As an Instructor, you have the ability to edit or delete Discussion posts within your course. This setting helps you moderate your course and remove any inappropriate or otherwise unwanted posts.

Instructors will need to allow students to attach files to Discussions.

You can insert an image file in a Discussion reply using the Content Selector.

Note: If the attachment option does not appear, this setting has been restricted. Instructors can restrict students from posting files within a course discussion.
