Is there a way to link an existing discussions post to a posts by topic? How is this accomplished?

 

I created a discussion post and a regular post with an assignment within a course. I trying to link a discussion post that I created externally within the course to a post with an assignment. Is there a way to do this?

    It took me a while to parse your question, so please forgive me if I'm making a faulty assumption.

     

    As near as I can understand, you have created an assignment for which participation in a general discussion (i.e., not associated with a given post) is required for completion. To simplify matters for the student, you want to offer a direct link to the required discussion.

     

    I thought dropping a link to Course Manager's URL to the discussion would do the trick, but that did NOT work. So, we're left with having to request this feature from Apple. I encourage you to make your interest known to Apple by filling out the feedback form:

    Assume the reader has no idea what you are talking about, be thorough in your description, and include workflows and reference screenshots if applicable.
