Discussion forums are a staple of online
courses. In this session, we will discuss creative ways to engage students in
online discussions beyond the typical read-post-reply formula.
Using the Community of Inquiry (CoI) as
a guiding framework, participants will learn how to design discussions that
achieve learning objectives, foster community, actively engage learners, and
facilitate deep learning.
Although examples from graduate and
professional programs will be shared, we welcome faculty, staff, and
administration at all academic levels to attend.
