One original post and two follow-ons: An online discussion board roundtable

KEYWORDS: Discussion Boards, Feedback, Discussion Groups, Online Classroom

With the growth in online classrooms, information exchange among online instructors is important. The basic online classroom design is similar: recorded lectures, students placed in groups and discussion boards very little is known about the pedagogical significance of the use of discussion boards in the classroom. This roundtable session seeks to explore and brainstorm with other online instructors as a means of gathering and sharing best practices in the online-discussion board space. Participants are encouraged to bring their discussion board guidelines and rubrics to the roundtable.
