Test Plan
Create a site with Discussions and several students.
If no default forum/topic exists, create a forum and topic in Discussions.
Log in as Student 1, start a conversation in the topic.
As Student 2, reply to the Student 1's post and also start a new conversation in the topic.
As Student 3, reply to both previous conversations and start a new conversation.
Log back in as Student 1, reply to at least one other student's conversation.
Wait a day or two, and as instructor, create another topic. Note: Steps to create topics and post on different dates are needed to check dates in the Stats & Grading by Topic spreadsheet.
As students, post and reply in the new topic AND the old topic.
Wait another day or two and as instructor, create another topic.

We've received a couple requests from instructors with large classes for an option to export the Statistics & Grading table in Discussions as a CSV spreadsheet, so they can import contents from one or more of its columns into Gradebook for "specifications grading".
Users can copy and paste the content from this table using basic browser functions, but since other tools that include tables provide export options, it would be nice to make one available in Discussions too.
The spreadsheet should include a column for User ID, so content from it can be imported into Gradebook.
