Multiple Due Dates for Discussion Redesign

[lsmith149]

For the discussion redesign, consider allowing instructors to assign multiple due dates within a discussion post—one for the original post and another for the replies. These due dates will also benefit students as they will appear on their to-do lists.

This feature is already on the Roadmap to be developed.  The name is the feature is called "Checkpoints" and is currently scheduled for release in Q1.

With the recently released video that reviews the redesign of the Discussions tool, I had hoped that this Checkpoint feature would be included. Unfortunately, it is not, nor any other solution to this need for multiple due dates in the Discussions. Can you please let us know any updates on this?

This is a much needed feature and would help more meaningful discussions happen.
