Setting Discussions for Groups or Sections
If your class has precept groups
(made in class) or sections (made via the registrar), you may want to create
Brightspace discussion topics for each group/section. Follow the steps below to
set this up in your course.
1. Log in to brightspace.ptsem.edu and go into your course.
2. Select Discussions
from the blue Navbar.
3. If you haven't already,
create a new forum by clicking New and then New Forum.
4. Enter a Forum title
(required) and description (optional), then select Save and Add Topic.
[Each topic you create will be visible only to one group/section.]
5. Add a Topic title
(required) and description (optional). You may want to include the
group/section name in the topic title.
6. Assuming you have already
created groups or have sections in your course, you will see "Topic
Type" above the Topic Title space. Select the second option:
"Group or section topic, everyone can access this topic, but students only
see threads from their own group or section."
7. Finish setting up the topic
and click "Save and Close" or "Save and New" if you want to
set up another Topic.
