Today we’re going to discuss how to navigate through the discussion tab in D2L. Most teachers utilize discussions in their class so it’s more than likely that you will have to compose your own thread and respond to others in the Discussion tab\u00a0in D2L.<\/p>\n

First to get to the Discussions page click on the link in the course navigation bar.<\/p>\n

\"Discussions\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This will take you to your Discussions List Page.\"disussion<\/p>\n

Here you have the ability to\u00a0collapse everything, then you have the ability to look at just one discussion forum at a time and collapse past discussion forms.<\/p>\n

\"capture<\/a><\/p>\n

To view a discussion topic click on the discussion post you would like to view or add content too.<\/p>\n

On the right\u00a0side of the page there are announcements on who last posted to the discussion and when. You can also organize the posts by; ‘Unread’, ‘Flagged’, and ‘Drafts’. Posts can be sorted a number of different ways, such as “Most Recent Activity” and “Least Recent Activity”.\u00a0If you would like an update about these as soon as they happen, there is a ‘Subscribe<\/strong>\u2019 button with a star\u00a0next to the post.<\/p>\n

\"subscribe\"<\/p>\n

To compose your own thread click on the ‘Start a New Thread<\/strong>‘\u00a0button. Here you can\u00a0create your post\u00a0and may subscribe to the thread from here if you so choose. You can also upload files under ‘Add attachments<\/strong>‘.\u00a0If you aren\u2019t ready to post you can save it as a draft or cancel your post.<\/p>\n
