Session Description
This session focuses on developing creative discussion board prompts so that students can avoid the “ugh” reaction to logging in and posting each week. Gone are the “boring” or “repetitive” weekly discussion forums that students dislike and sometimes skip. Our focus in this session is on showing ways that instructors can be more innovative and imaginative with their prompts… and inspire students to want to come back to participate.
