To split screen on Canvas, specifically within discussions, you can use the View Split Screen option to see discussion posts and their corresponding threads side-by-side.
This feature helps you easily follow conversations by displaying the main post on one side of the screen and the replies (threads) on the other, enhancing readability and navigation within busy discussions.
Here's a simple guide on how to activate the split screen view for Canvas discussions:
Steps to Use Split Screen in Discussions
Follow these steps to utilize the split screen functionality within your Canvas discussions:
- Navigate to Discussions: In your Course Navigation menu, locate and click on the Discussions link.
- Select a Discussion: Click on the title of the specific discussion you wish to view in split screen.
- Enable Split Screen View: At the top of the discussion page, find and click the View Split Screen button.
- View Threads: The screen will now split. The main discussion post(s) will typically remain visible on the left or center, and the thread for each post (the replies) will appear on the right side of the page.
This method allows for a more organized way to read through complex or lengthy discussion threads directly within the Canvas platform.
In summary: Accessing the split screen feature in Canvas is a straightforward process available specifically within the Discussions area to improve the readability of threads.
