In an effort to encourage student originality, Blackboard has released a new feature which allows faculty to set the Discussion Board to Post-First. This setting will prevent students from reading other students' threads until they have posted their own threads. Discussion Board: Post-First.
Select Collapse to minimize a post and increase the vertical screen space. If your instructor enabled the rate posts feature in a forum's settings, Overall Rating displays the average rating for a post. When you point to the rating area, it changes to show Your Rating.
If anonymous posting has been enabled on the forum you can post anonymously by ticking the Post Message as Anonymous tick box.
Students can delete only their own discussions, responses, and replies. Students can't edit their discussion titles after they create discussions. Open the menu for a response or reply to access the Edit and Delete functions. If you delete an initial response, all replies remain.
On the thread's page, point to a post to view the available functions. Select Edit or Delete. The delete action is irreversible. If you're allowed to delete your post with replies, all posts are permanently deleted.
