Discussions
The Discussions tool allows for both instructors and students to start and contribute to as many discussion topics as desired. Discussions allow for interactive communication between two or more people; users can participate in a conversation with an entire class or group.
The Discussions tutorial is approximately 30 minutes long. The tutorial reviews the process of creating a discussion while highlighting the new user interface, new features, and loss of functionality.
