Grading Discussion Tool

I think discussion tool could be graded as a behavioral assessment or grading could be depended on instructor like test tool.

    I can see nothing has happened here for a long time and there is not even an acknowledgment from itslearning. This need is still today (year 2022) a deficiency in itslearning.

    We also want to be able to add discussions to the gradebook and grade against a standard. In addition, we'd like to be able to assess comments within a discussion.

    In addition to attaching a grade to it, we should be able to quickly view what each student wrote on the thread in one place and have a rubric attached. This would allow us to assign students to make so many responses and grade it easily. Most other LMS systems like Canvas or Blackboard have this feature.

    Many teachers use discussion activity as a grade (quality & quantity) of posts.  It would be great to be able to attach a grading rubric to a discussion. Right now, teachers create a custom activity and tree link the discussion.  To grade it, teachers have to flip back and forth and it is too time consuming.
