Many of us utilize–or would like to utilize–online discussion boards in our classes. We want this to be an engaging and meaningful learning experience for our students whether we teach online courses, use this tool for a particular assignment, or want it as a backup when class can’t meet in person. In this session, we will look at the Discussion Forum tool in Simmons Moodle and explore ways that this resource can foster deep learning. We will consider learning outcomes, student tasks, as well as ideas for integrating creative engagement in graduate and undergraduate courses.
