Canvas Tip: Attaching Documents to Discussion Forums

Instructors, do you use Discussions in your online course in which students upload or attach a file?  If so, here are the instructions to allow for that functionality in your course.  You will have to "turn on" this feature for your students in each of your courses, but it will copy to future sections.

1. Go to Settings in the Course Navigation (left sidebar)
2. Click Edit Course Details
3. Scroll down and click the "more options" link in blue
4. Check the box "let students attach files to discussion"
