Online/hybrid class discussions
Online discussions are an excellent way to extend classroom
discussions, or for online and hybrid classes, to generate high-quality
interaction. True "discussion" is best done with Blackboard's Discussion
tool. Some more limited interaction can be accomplished with blogs, and
one-on-one interaction with on-line chat. You can use online discussions
to:
- Continue discussions that threaten to get the class off point,
but on a topic that deserves to be explored;
- To encourage discussion on interesting topics that you don't
have time to study in class;
- As a forum for assignment or report presentation;
- to make it easier for small groups to meet by facilitating
asynchronous communication.
