Facilitating online discussions
A few months ago, some colleagues and I had an interesting chat with some of our online instructors about a variety of issues related to facilitating and managing online discussions. Various questions emerged such as:
How do I effectively enourage interaction?
What is the role of assessment?
What is the instructor’s role vs, students’ role in the process?
Though we didn’t come up with all the answers, we did produce some fruits of our labour in this wiki on Online Discussion.. Please feel free to contribute your thoughts, suggestions and ideas to it!!
