Overview
As an instructor, you have the ability to delete posts and enable or disable reactions.
Hiding and Deleting a Post, Comment, or Reply
Instructors can delete a student's post or comment in two different ways:
Deleting once: hides the post from students.
Deleting twice: permanently removes the post for all users.
1. Deleting (Hiding from Students) a Post, Comment, or Reply
- From the Post or Comment, use the Menu option and select to Delete the Post or Comment.
- The Post or Comment will still be visible to the Instructor with a note that it was Administratively deleted. Students will not see the post or comments in this state.
2. Permanently Deleting (for all users) a Post, Comment, or Reply
- Once the Post or Comment is administratively deleted, the Instructor can optionally choose to Permanently Delete it from the topic. The Post or Comment will no longer be visible to the Instructor.
Deleting or Editing Assignment Posts in Peer Review
In Peer Review activities, students can edit their assignment posts until a peer begins reviewing their work. After that, the submission will be locked, and they will no longer be able to edit.
Enabling & Disabling Reactions
As an Instructor editing a topic, you can optionally turn on reactions within Post Settings by checking the "Allow students to react to a posts and comments." checkbox.
Participants can click React on the post or comment and select from one of the following reactions.
- This is helpful
- Good point
- I agree
- Great Idea
- Inspiring
- Unique
- Participants can view the reactions by clicking on React on the front of the card.
FAQ
My students need to edit their peer review assignment posts but can't. What can they do?
- There is not currently a way for a student to edit a post once someone has claimed it for review. We are actively developing a feature that would allow editing (even after a reviewer has begun working) with permission from the instructor. In the meantime, we'd recommend that each reviewer post a comment to the submitted post requesting a readable draft. The submitter can then reply to them with the correct draft.
