Assigned random discussion replies

[KimberleeCastil]

After the new 2024 update to discussions, there is the option to assign randomly students for replies. So I've utilize this and selected that each student has to reply to automatically assign reviews per student. As the students have been working in this new discussion board, some are not receiving an assigned classmate. The students have notified me that some students see the two assigned names at the top of the discussion, but a few have no assigned reviews. Why is this and how do I assist students? Is this because their assigned students have not posted an initial post?  I did click the intro group peer reviews.

Hello @KimberleeCastil 

Thanks for posting this in the global Canvas Community! 

Just to confirm, are you using Automatic Peer Reviews in your discussions? The reason I ask, if the student has not submitted to the discussion or submits the discussion after the due date, the student will not automatically be assigned a peer review and you must manually assign one. 

Another thing to keep in mind is that It may take up to one hour for Canvas to assign peer reviews.
