Enhancing Discussion Engagement and Efficiency on Canvas
In online learning environments, students frequently raise repetitive questions in discussion forums, making it challenging for both students and instructors to identify recurring themes and efficiently manage discussions. This leads to inefficiencies in teaching and learning processes.

Objectives:
Develop a Keyword Filter & Search Feature: Create a functionality that allows users to filter discussion topics based on specific keywords, enabling easier navigation and retrieval of relevant information.

Implement a Suggest Similar Discussions Feature: Build a feature that suggests related posts from the discussion history, helping users discover relevant content and reducing redundancy in questions.

Goals:
Improve the overall efficiency of teaching by reducing repetitive inquiries.
Enhance student engagement by providing quick access to previously discussed topics.
Foster a more organized and informative discussion environment on Canvas.
