This document explains how to save postings from a D2L Discussion. In order to save discussion postings, you will need to either print each discussion thread or save it as a PDF.
Note: It is recommended that you save the threads as PDFs rather than printing, as some discussions can be several pages in length. Saving as a PDF allows you to keep a digital copy on your computer that can be printed at a later time.
Saving Discussion Posts
Enter the Discussion topic that contains posts you wish to save by clicking on the topic name.A “print view” will load in your browser's print preview. To print the thread, click “Print.”
Choose your printer or save as a PDF:
You will need to repeat this process for each thread that you wish to save from the Discussion area.
Note: Another method to save specific discussion posts would be to take a screen capture of each discussion post that you wish to save. You can compile the screenshots in a folder on your computer or paste them into a document for organization. You can use the built-in screen capture tool on your operating system, or you can download free screen capture software, such as Jing, from the TechSmith website.
