To edit a discussion, begin by clicking on the "Course Admin" tab in your blue course navbar.

Scroll down and click on the "Discussion" Tool in the Communication section.

Scroll down to a Forum or Topic you would like to edit. (A Forum is a container for topics. Topics are where students start threads and interact with one another).

Click on the caret next to the Forum you'd like to edit and click on "Edit Forum"

Now you can edit the name of the Forum, its description and some of the options. NOTE: options at the Forum level will override any options you select at the topic level. That means if you select the option "Users must start a thread before they can read and reply to other threads in each topic" at the Forum level it will automatically apply and override that option at the Topic level.

To edit a Topic, click on the caret next to its name.

From here you can change the name of the topic, due dates, point value and instructions. You upload files and links with the buttons in the html editor. You can also change the dates the Topic is available to students with the "Availability & Dates" section. Change rules about posting with "Post & Completion" section, and allow students to rate each other's posts with the "Evaluation & Feedback" section.

Click on "Save and Close" at the bottom when finished.
