We’re excited to share an update on the progress of Discussion Checkpoints! Before moving the feature into our beta environment, we had the privilege of working with four institutions that tested the functionality. Their feedback has been invaluable in helping us refine the experience and ensure this feature will be valuable to our users.

As we continue to address any UX pain points and reported bugs, we encourage you to keep testing the feature on beta and report any issues directly to our Support team. This will help us resolve any remaining concerns before the official production release in November.

While Checkpoints is still in beta, we’re paying close attention to two key areas:

Language on each checkpoint: We're exploring ways to ensure the instructions and expectations are clear for both students and instructors.

Rubrics with Checkpoints: We’re gathering feedback on how rubrics interact with each checkpoint, including whether separate rubrics for each stage of a discussion would enhance clarity or complicate workflows.

Your feedback is critical to the continued improvement of this feature. As you test Checkpoints, please share your thoughts by leaving a comment on this blog or reaching out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM). 

Thank you for your partnership and support as we move closer to the production release of Discussion Checkpoints.
