Discussion board option for hiding responses until teacher allows
To use the discussion board as a better tool, it would be helpful to have an additional option beyond responses being seen immediately or after the first post. Have an additional option for teacher to control when students can see other posts. Currently students are posting blank replies so they can see what others have written, copying information and then editing their blank post.

Exactly this... as I posted under idea: K12OC-I-1578:
This is HUGE. We just found out that students can cheat this way.
They post a statement to the discussion board (can be anything, even gibberish). They can then see the other students answers.
They search through for one they like, copy or paraphrase it, and edit their discussion post and insert that instead.
Teacher cannot even SEE that a post was edited by a student, much less turn off the editing feature. This is a huge oversight for using Discussion type assignments as homework or other graded assignments.
Especially since there is the option to "Show comments to students - after student has posted" (I assume this function was created solely so students couldn't just cheat off of what someone else wrote)
Please fix or give us the ability to not allow students to edit!! Thank you
