Did you know you can create discussions in Brightspace where a moderator must approve individual posts?
Austen Liaude You can set up discussion forums or threads where a moderator must approve individual posts before they are displayed in a discussion. This feature can be used for example, in the discussion forums where students discuss their placements, and you don’t want students to reveal any personal information about their placements by accident when engaging in a discussion.
Similarly, where the subject matter is sensitive or political, you may want to check posts before they are visible to other students.
Below is a short video demonstrating how to set up this feature and how to approve posts or threads.
Now that you know about the discussions where a moderator must approve individual posts – go have a go yourself!
