[Profiles] "Activity" Tab
Increasingly, academics are looking for new forms of assessment. In this pursuit, one of the tools are discussion boards - while contribution to discussions are not yet complete assessments of and by themselves, there is increasing appetite for using these as a component of assessments (similar to class participation) or as evidence towards or part of a submission (such as an item within a portfolio). Hence, it becomes important to be able to see at a glance all the discussions a student has participated in, and be able to jump directly to the student's contribution.
Most discussion boards, including Canvas Community, have an Activity tab within the User Profile page, e.g., https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2948996 It would be helpful to have such a tab for Canvas Profiles as well. It would be useful to have two types of activities on this tab: threads started and threads participated, with the two types grouped separately. Of course, the usual Canvas visibility filters apply. So, if a student S is enrolled in my course C, then on student S's Profile page, Activity tab, I should see only the activity related to my module, not what the student has done in other modules.
