Still need work.. but let’s look at an idea.

Course Main Category

- Security Settings:
- 
  - Everyone(or student Group) See

- 
  - Professor Group - See/Create/reply

Topic Module 2 Name  
Posts

1. Intro
2. Lesson 1
3. Lesson 2
4. Lesson 3

Each Module is a viewable topic. Each post could have a link to a Subcategory that has security settings. Student/everyone to see/reply (if wanting to keep things per lesson/module). Or See/Create/Reply  
Professor of course would be unrestricted.

In the Discussion Subcategory of each Course can also use tags for sorting.

Then only your discussion categories get bumped with New or unread. Unless you add to a course category content.

From here you have a variety of things you can optionally use. Plugins like Private Replies and private topics maybe if interest. There is also another plugin called Restricted replies. And the solved plugin might also have value.
