Working with Discussion Board
Discussion Boards are used for content engagement in an asynchronous format - not all participants are logged in at the same time. The instructor initiates the discussion by creating the topic or Discussion Board forum. Once created, students click the title of the forum to enter the discussion. Instructors provide the structure for each Discussion Topic, but it’s important to note that not all instructors participate in the Discussion Board at all times.Posting a Comment to a Forum
