Designing a Class Discussion
Discussions are one of the most common aspects of the Online Classroom Environment. The formal nature of preparing or submitting a post or reply promotes very constructive communication between students and the instructor. Discussions regularly represent a student's participation in an online class, and is a key component to the success or failure of a class. Discussions can be just as important in the face to face class.
In creating a discussion question, I found it to be a great example of a topic with no perfect answer. The challenges are equal to its benefits. This topic would draw out a variety of opinions, and move a class to a better understanding.
