🚫 Create an Online Discussion

Create an online discussion in this module if you plan to engage students in an asynchronous (not in real time) conversation around a course reading, concept, or question. Online discussions tend to work best when they are graded and when students are required to post multiple times at specified intervals. For example, you might ask students to submit a lengthy initial post to a specific prompt and then respond to their classmates 2-3 days later. 

Feel free to attend a synchronous online workshop Links to an external site.offered by CETL on how to use online discussions effectively in Canvas.
