2. Selecting Notify via e-mail will send out e-mails, which will contain the message, to the class members (students and teachers) or parents.
3. Selecting Private Discussion will create a discussion that is visible only to other teachers. Students will not be able to view these discussions.

Replying to Discussions

To create a reply first click <-- Comment or Open Discussion. This will bring up a text box that will allow you to enter your comment, including adding images, files or audio recording.

React to existing comments with Emojis (Thumbs Up, Heart etc), or Edit / Delete comments as an Admin. Private comments can be created by enabling the checkbox. Private comments will only be visible to other teachers. Once your comment is complete, click Comment to post it.

Replying to Threaded Comments

In addition to replying to the original discussion post creator, users are able to reply to comments added from other users in the thread. Click Open Discussion, and select <<- Reply to add a reply to a particular response to the main thread. Type in the box and click Add Reply to post. 

Private Discussions

There are two types of private discussions:

1. Discussions and comments that are created by teachers and are only visible to other teachers.
2. Discussions and comments that are created by students and are visible to other teachers but also to the student.

Private Discussions posted by students & teachers are only visible to teachers and are not visible to other students. Private replies left on a discussion will only be visible to teachers & not to other students. 

If a Student posts a private comment, this private comment will now be visible to teachers. When a teacher responds to it the reply will also be visible only to the student. This approach allows students to create private communication threads with their teachers.

Student View of Discussions 

Students are only able to post discussions to their assigned year group, classes or groups. Please see an example of the student view below.

• Students can Create Discussions, starting new topics
• Students can Reply to the Author, or respond to threaded replies
• Students can add Private Comments, only visible to Teachers
• Students can optionally choose to send a notification through to E-mail

Parent View of Discussions

Parents will have access to the discussion and attachments via Discussions on the Left-menu or on the Home Menu, and can also be notified of new discussions via email.

Parents will be able to see discussions from:

• Their Childs / Children's Year Group
• Their Childs / Children's Classes
• Their Childs / Children's Activity Groups
• The Parents Association, if the school are using this feature

Web notifications will be sent by default and can be accessed via the Envelope icon in the top-menu. For each discussion post, Teachers & Admins additionally have the option to send an email notification to push through to personal inboxes.
