  6. 准备就绪后，单击保存并发布.

尖端

  • Canvas的线程讨论允许无限的回复级别，这使得它们更适合Threadz分析. In contrast, focused discussions in Canvas only allow replies to the original post, which makes them useful for quick topics but less useful for Threadz analysis.
  • 有关使用讨论的更多详细说明，请浏览画布的指南:
  • 小组讨论in Canvas do not work with Threadz.However, they are still a useful tool to facilitate conversations about course content.

    • Display by User- 通过发送的帖子和回复的数量对用户圈子的大小进行排序，收到的回复数，发送或接收的帖子和回复以及总字数。
    • Display by Posts/Replies- Sort posts and replies by word count, as well as highlight if the post or reply was late, if the post hasn't been read, or if any students are isolated.
    • Click and drag a user circle to untangle heavily overlapping networks.
  5. 点击Chord tabto open the chord diagram. Chord diagrams show the direction of interactions between people in a discussion. You can interact with elements on this display:
