  1. While discussions.enable_new_structure_discussions is enabled, default provider for all new course runs will be OPEN_EDX.

  2. Once re-run has been created, the mechanism for new topic structure will run and create discussion topics, with following rules:

    1. For unit without an existing discussion xblock, new discussion topic will NOT be created during migration.

    2. For a unit having at least 1 discussion xblock, a new discussion topic will be created. Topic of existing discussion xblock will be ignored.

    3. If a unit lies within a graded subsection (but not “timed exam”), and contains at least 1 discussion xblock, a new discussion topic will be created and “Graded unit” toggle will be automatically turned on for the course.

    4. For a unit within a subsection marked as “timed exam”, new discussion topic will NOT be created even if the unit already has a discussion xblock.

  3. On the UI for creating a new run of a course, following discussions related settings will be provided: A link in course run creation interface will route users to discussions configuration page.

    1. If the first option is selected during course run creation, discussion topics will be created for all units in the course except the ones that are part of graded subsections.

    2. Second option will be active only if the first option is selected. If the second option is selected during course run creation, discussion topics will be created for all units in the course including the ones in graded subsections, except the ones that are part of subsections marked as “timed exam”.

  4. A banner in studio will inform course teams about the new topic structure and xblocks.

    1. For new courses, the banner will say: “This course uses the new discussions topic structure. Learn more about it here. Discussion xblocks are no longer supported.”

    2. For new course runs, the banner will say: “Hey we’ve migrated discussions over to the new topic structure. Learn more about it here. Discussion xblocks are no longer supported and will not be visible to learners. Please make the necessary adjustments to the course content.”
