Lesson Back Channel Discussion Board
Step 4: see the tools.
A back channel is a online platform (like a discussion board) where learners discuss relevant topics while you teach. Students pose questions about the topics currently being covered and answer them while you teach. Or, if you're so inclined, have students type their questions in the back channel, and address them - out loud or online - at the end of your lesson.
