Ability to mention people in a class feed post
complete
Erin Byrd
Can you add a way for people to mention others in a class feed post? Either this, or could there be a way for people to choose to receive notifications from a certain post category rather than receive notifications from all new posts?
For example, if an instructor makes a post under a category called "announcements", it would be nice if students could just receive notifications only from this category. Or an alternative to this would be for the instructor to be able to @mention all of the students in the class and then the students would just have to turn on the notification for "someone @mentioned you".

Merged in a post:
Tag people in class feed questions/answers (similar to chat)

Please make it so that you can tag people in a class feed discussions. Often I want to say "Your post reminds me of @insert name" or "I noticed that @insertname had a different perspective" to make connections across discussion posts. I want to bring the students together through the notification and sustain collaboration.
I know this feature is in the chat, but my students don't prefer to use it for longer reflection type questions.

Erin Byrd, thank you for the suggestion! We'll definitely add the ability to @mention people in a post in the future. We'll let you know here when it's been shipped.
