Selectively Subscribing to a Canvas Discussion Board
Here is a video, from Dr. Robert Kelley, that covers how faculty can selectively subscribe to a discussion board in Canvas (choosing immediate or daily/weekly summary). The hack is to use a separate student Canvas account, with notifications set up in the student account as desired (immediate or daily/weekly summary).
