I am loving this collection of innovative discussion board ideas for online courses. If you are looking for ways to spice up discussions, check out these fun ideas from Laurie Berry and Kristin Kowal of University of Wisconsin.
We recommend trying any of these five “twists” on traditional discussions in the next online course you work on. These activities encourage student engagement and critical thinking, and they might help you feel more connected to your students as well!
