New Discussions Tool Feature

The section instructor can now lock a Blackboard CE 6 Discussion topic and still post to that topic. In other words, after you terminate student contributions, you (the instructor) can continue to comment on postings and post those comments. The steps required are:

• On the Teach Tab, select the ActionLinks icon and select the Edit Properties option.
• Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the “Topic Behaviors Options” link to expand the list of options.
• Select the “Lock this topic for Students (Section Instructors can post in a locked topic)” option button and
• Click the Save button.
