[In response to the summer 2024 Canvas LMS updates...] There are two instructor over-ride abilities needed for discussion forums.
- The new "Collapse Threads" default is problematic for students -- since they often do not know they need to open-up the threads AND simultaneously may not read the instructions on class site forums. Accordingly, an instructor-level ability to lock the "Expand Threads" view on discussion forums is needed.
- A related concern is how EVERY edit and deletion to a discussion forum is captured AND the edits/deletions ARE listed in the "Collapse Threads" view. In this way, if a faculty member deletes a thread on the forum (and a student does not know they need to click on the "Expand Threads" button), it looks like student threads have been removed from the discussion forum by the instructor. Accordingly, an instructor-level ability to NOT track certain format changes/deletions on a discussion board is needed.
