What is canvas discussion?

Canvas Discussions are a native tool in all Canvas courses. Instructors may create both focused and threaded Discussions. Discussions are often used to promote student interaction and exchange of ideas, in online and hybrid courses. Canvas Discussions can be ungraded, graded, assigned to groups, and even peer reviewed. If you simply need to solicit your students’ opinion on a topic, without initiating a full-scale conversation, the Canvas Discussion tool can also be used to generate a survey for your students.

Why are Canvas discussions important?

Canvas Discussions only allow one topic or thread per Discussion item, but in return they offer some powerful features to promote student interaction.
