mental health awareness

[PeterSullivan]

group chat among students were we can share ideas and help each other. i just did a course without help yes there was bits of information available but it would of been great to share my ideas with others who were studying the same course as me. its not cheating if our ultimate goals are helping others

Hi @PeterSullivan,

I came across this old thread while doing a community cleanup.

It appears you'd like your course to have a group chat available.  This is something you'd need to talk to your teacher(s) about, as Canvas does have chat and discussion features available.  In some cases these features can be misused by students so the teacher chooses to disable them.  As part of the Canvas community, we unfortunately don't have any control over what features your courses have available in them.

I was just reading through this thread, and I think it's great that you're advocating for mental health awareness and a group chat for students to share ideas and support each other. It's important to have a community of people who understand what you're going through and can provide support.
On a related note, I recently came across some information about pathological lying disorders that might be helpful for anyone struggling with this issue. I found this article at https://fherehab.com/learning/pathological-lying-disorders to be informative and well-researched. Of course, it's always important to seek professional help if you're struggling with mental health issues.
