I've started automatically creating course discussion topics in the new course discussions forum! 🙂
So far, I've only created discussion topics for courses that have at least one person learning or teaching them.
If you're the author of a course, you should have the ability to edit your course's discussion topic.
There's still a lot of work remaining for this feature, but I figured I'd go ahead and make the discussion topics and get people's feedback on them! 🙂
