Make text highlighting possible for instructors
Because I select the featured post of the week, and students will be tested on the content, I realized it would be useful to have a highlighting tool where I could simply select a few lines in a student post to guide students that read the post (often with several responses). Such a tool probably should not be available to students because a few might go crazy marking up other student posts, but for someone in my position where I want to draw their attention to some statements or facts in a post, it would be very useful.
Because many students are such bad writers, it might also be useful to have a specific color reserved to highlight bad spelling and/or bad grammar problems too.

Gretchen EzakiI would like to be able to highlight specific parts of instructions or change the color of the letters in order to make directions as clear as possible. Also I would like to set headings vs normal paragraph so this is more compatible for a screen reader. If my online content is not fully ADA compliant I get notified from my campus admin.

Heather YDifferent color highlights (where the entire letter stays highlighted, not just underlined) for Deep Dives would be great. If instructors could create their own color code for our students, it might make it more engaging instead of seeing a sea of one color or a bunch of underlines...maybe red could mean it is a grammar error, yellow means a fact error, green means great point...
