Discussion Forums for Asynchronous Engagement & Formative Assessment
Online discussion forums offer many affordances compared to synchronous methods of communication, such as discussions in NYU Zoom or in the classroom. Read more about the benefits of online discussions in this EDUCAUSE article.
NYU Classes Discussion Forums Overview
Each NYU Classes course site starts with one forum, which you can edit to help you get started. Watch the NYU Classes Forums video to learn how to set up Discussion Forums, Topics, and Conversations (and yes, the video includes a quick vocabulary lesson to help you make sense of all that technical terminology).
Below, you'll find slides from an NYU Classes Forums webinar for further guidance. The checklist also contains a helpful "glossary" of terms to explain the difference between Forums, Topics, and Conversations.
