Discussions

The Discussions tab shows all discussion channels associated with your class. From here you can browse active channels, search for specific ones, and open any channel to read and participate in conversations.

Accessing Discussions

1. Click Inbox in the Console navigation.
2. Select the Discussions tab.

What the Discussions List Shows

Each channel is listed with:

Column	Description
Channel name	The name of the discussion channel
Creator	Who created the channel
Visibility	Public (all class members) or private (invited members only)
Message count	Total posts in the channel
Created date	When the channel was created

Searching and Sorting

• Use the search bar to find a channel by name
• Sort by name, creation date, or visibility
• Channels with recent activity surface near the top

Opening a Channel

Click on any channel name to open its detail view — where you can read all posts, add new ones, and manage the channel.

→ See Channels for the full guide on posting, replying, and managing channels.

Creating a New Discussion Channel

1. Click + Create in the Inbox header.
2. Select Discussion.
3. Fill in the channel name, description, and visibility setting.
4. Save — the channel is created and added to the Discussions list.

Students in the class will see the channel in their Campus Inbox automatically (if visibility is set to public).

Note

Channels you create here are the same channels students see in their Campus Inbox under the Discussions tab. Everything is shared in real time.
