Submit post before joining a discussion

Submit post before joining a discussion

Teachers have the option to require Students to submit a new Post before joining a Discussion in which they haven't yet participated. 
​

When a Student tries to navigate to a Discussion that has this setting enabled, they will be taken first to the Create a new Discussion Post dialog. A Student will have the option to submit a new Post or even save this Post as a Draft, but will be unable to view or reply to any Posts that have been made by their peers until a Post has been submitted.

Teachers can enable this setting for new Discussions as well as existing ones.

  2. Select Manage Discussion > Edit
