\label{Resource_Discussion}

Unless banned by an instructor, all resources in the course can host
discussion, which means students may post comments that will appear to all viewers. 

For all course members a \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{chat} icon appears on the \textbf{Course Contents} screen next to any resource with new discussion postings. 
In addition, course members will see new discussion 
on their \textbf{What's New?} screens within the box headlined 
\textbf{Unread course discussion posts}. 

Instructors may allow course members
to post anonymously or not, and course personnel can still see who posted
the anonymous messages. "Anonymous" only prevents students from knowing who posted. (Sometimes instructors or TAs post anonymously to discreetly
help the students.) Course personnel may hide or delete inappropriate
messages.

To participate in a discussion on the a resource, click 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{chat} \textbf{Post Discussion} 
at the bottom of a resource.  If you want to reply back to a particular post, then click the appropriate \underbar{Reply} link.

To control how discussions are displayed, see section \ref{Change_Discussion_Display}.
