Manage discussions as an Admin

Course discussions allow users to ask questions and comment to their peers. The current Course Viewer has deprecated the discussion feature, and users cannot start a new discussion. However, users can still view and reply to previous discussions. As an admin, you can monitor these discussions and take action if necessary.

Key Features

• Engage in discussions with users
• Monitor and delete threads if necessary 

You need this to succeed

• Courses with Social enabled
• Discussions started by users in their Courses 
• Admin or promoted user with Manage Discussions permissions granted

The quick way to awesomeness

• Navigate to the Collaboration page
• Open the Discussion tab
• Filter and find threads started by users in their Courses
• Delete topics 

Do this step by step

1. In the Online Platform, select the Collaboration page. Click the Discussions tab.
2. Filter the discussion threads by Course or Division. Use the search field to find specific topics.
3. To delete a topic, hover over the topic, click the bin icon, and confirm on the pop-up. Keep in mind that users have put time into their discussions. However, this allows you to remove obscenities or outdated information.
