Course: Discussions Tab

Overview

The Discussions tab is the course forum, where learners and the course team post questions, answer each other, and talk about the material. Units can also link to a discussion topic of their own.

When there are no posts yet, the page reads "Nothing here yet": "All discussion activity for your course will show up here."

Target Audience
