How do I allow comments to be posted on a Lessons page?
Instructors can allow students to add comments to a Lessons page. The comments can either be anonymous or have the student's name attached. The comments can be graded and either required or optional.
Note: Students have 30 minutes to edit or delete their comments. Instructors can edit or delete a student comment at any time.
Go to a desired Lessons page.
Click on the Lessons tool in the Tool Menu to display the page.
