We’re making an important change to the rollout of Discussion Checkpoints based on your feedback. Instead of enabling Checkpoints as a default feature that is on for all users on November 16th, we will now release it as a Feature Option. This means that starting November 16th, Discussion Checkpoints will be available in production, and institutions can choose when to turn it on based on their timelines and needs. We will also be adjusting the flag in beta, on November 4th, to be visible to admins and unlocked. This will ensure consistency of feature options across your Canvas instances.
This adjustment reflects not only your feedback on Checkpoints itself but also our overall release process. By shifting to a Feature Option, we’re aiming to provide more flexibility and control to meet your institution’s needs and give you more time to familiarize yourself with the feature and communicate with your faculty and staff.
Thank you for your continued feedback, which is instrumental in shaping our direction.
Edit: Discussions Checkpoints will be released to Production in January. More information can be found here.
