Weekly exercise topics with hidden replies

The workflow as I see it cries out for a plugin. It seems like it would be a bit much to educate users.

  1. Create an assignment topic, then immediately Close it
  2. Users click Reply to open the composer
  3. Users click the curved reply arrow icon to open the drop down
  4. Users click New message and post their answer

Then comes “work” that I’m not sure a plugin could automate with more finesse, but maybe.

  1. Topic creator reads / replies to individual messages
  2. When done, reopens assignment topic
  3. Moves messages into the assignment topic

I think CSS could be used so that only the New message option displays. But I’m thinking better would be JavaScript so that when the Reply is clicked the composer automatically opens as a New message. i.e. step 2 goes directly to step 4
