Post Tagging in Discussion Board

What is Post Tagging and how does it work? I don't see any way to tag. Do students have an option to search for key words in a discussion board.

discussion/forum grading

The Discussion Forum was set up to be graded. Instructor has graded this forum for several students. Two days after the last grade entered, she went into the forum and no longer could grade the forum. The "grading" option was gone from the forum. The only fix we could think of was to turn "grading"...

discussion threads on the home page in some way

Hello, I am an instructor using Blackboard 9.1. I was wondering if there was a way to make discussion threads that I create for the class show up on the home page in some way. I would like for a link to the discussion board to be available from the first screen that students see when they log in. Is...

Re: am unable to see postings on discussion board from my students

I had this problem yesterday. Make sure the correct settings are chosen -- Discussion Board -- drop down menu next to the forum you are working on -- edit -- and scroll down and make sure Forced Moderation of Posts is not checked. My default appears to be this Forced Moderation, and I could not see any...

Discussions - Forums vs. Threads?

Hello, I am rebuilding a course from CE8 in 9.1. I am trying to decide what to do with the Forums/Threads and decided to ask others what they suggest. Say, in my Week 2, I have several discussion questions for my students to answer. Should I ... 1. Create a separate forum for each question? 2. Create...

Subscribe to Discussion Board - digest/summary?

Can anyone tell me whether it's possible for a user to opt for a daily (or weekly, etc.) summary of discussion board or forum activity? Getting a separate email about every single new post has the potential to be a bit overwhelming, and the messages do not need an urgent answer. If it's not possible...

Moving threads and subthreads from one forum to another in Blackboard 9 / 9.1

Hi folks, I think I was asleep at the switch the other day; I created several threads in one forum that really belonged in another one. Students have already started responding to the threads-in-wrong-place. I'd like to be able to pick up the whole set of threads and subthreads and (in effect) drag...

Discussion Board (synthesizing entries + monitoring time/dates entry + grading)

Please let me know how I can view individual students cumulative entries on BB Discussion Board for a particular week. For example, John Doe is a student. He and all of his classmates have to do two Discussion Board submissions on two separate dates for the first week (WK1 DB). I want to be able to easily...

Re: Clearing student posts in disscussion board

Yes, I'm doing that - but with several groups and several discussion boards for each group it is fast becoming tedious - I feel like the man from St Ives! A 'delete all posts' function would be useful to apply to the whole Blackboard course so that I can retain my boards but without last...
