Note: As you read the posts and replies from others in the discussion, a dot next to each post turns solid. Canvas automatically marks the posts as "Read" if you spend enough time viewing the post. You may also select the circle on the left of the post to mark the individual post as read or select the 'more options' button in the Discussion index at the top and choose manually "Mark as Read," so Canvas does not auto-mark the discussion as read.

Quiz Activity: Please take the Canvas Discussion Quiz to demonstrate your ability to use the features of the Canvas Discussion forum. The quiz is not timed and has unlimited attempts.
