Discussions can be adjusted so that students can't see other students' posts until they post themselves. This prevents intentional and unintentional plagiarism. It also leads to a more diverse set of responses. Faculty in NU Brightspace can currently make these updates themselves. Faculty in NCUOne can work with their LXD, if course authoring or request the update via OLIS.
