Quick Fix: Requiring Students to End Discussion Posts with a Question
Frohlich, Dennis Owen
College Teaching, v68 n1 p1-2 2020
Online discussion boards are in frequent use these days in both face-to-face and online courses. While "discussion" is in the name, it's not uncommon to see students struggle to have meaningful conversations in these digital spaces. One Quick Fix to this predicament is to require students to post a discussion question at the end of their posts. This guides classmates' replies, and provides students with more ownership over the direction of the conversation. This article guides instructors in how to incorporate this feature into online discussion boards.
