ANSWER:

Discussions: Create Category

Discussion Categories are used to group similar or related discussion topics together. For example: You can create a category called Graded Topics that contains all the topics that Students will be graded on. As topics are being created, you can put them into categories of your choosing. Any topics that are not assigned to a category appear under Uncategorized Topics.

Role(s) Needed: The instructions for creating discussion categories apply to Course- and Section-level Designers.

Step 1: From the Build tab, click the  Discussions tool.

Step 2: Click the Create Category button.

Step 3: On the Create Discussion Category screen, enter a Title and optional Description for the category.

Step 4: Click Save to create the category.
