Classroom Help Board

Train your students to help each other - while you facilitate the discussion. Created and hosted in an online discussion board, a classroom help board allows students to post questions throughout a given week or for the duration of a particular academic unit. Fellow learners give helpful tips and provide links to beneficial resources. You monitor the discussion to ensure all questions are answered correctly in a timely manner.
