Discussions are organized into three main areas.

Discussions [1]: These are current discussions within the course. Discussions are ordered by most recent activity. This section heading only displays if there are discussions within this section.

Pinned Discussions [2]: These are discussions that your instructor wants you to pay specific attention to and appear at the top of the Discussions page. This section heading only displays if there are discussions within this section as designated by your instructor.  

Closed for Comments [3]: These discussions have been manually closed for comments, or the discussion is past the available from/until date. These are discussions that are only available in a read-only state and are ordered by most recent activity. This section section heading displays even if there are no discussions within this section.
