Canvas Discussions Tutorial

Today's video is all about how to use canvas to create discussions. I go over the discussion settings, how to create discussions (graded and ungraded), how to create a group discussion (and why I prefer creating it differently), and more.

Discussion forums are a great way to have asynchronous class discussions, so definitely take advantage of this tool in your Canvas LMS class website.
