Too often students and
teachers view online discussions as busy work and just something to check off
the Canvas To-Do list. Building community, engagement, and interaction are all
primary goals for using the Discussion Board tool. Panelists representing
Communicating Arts, Spanish, and Writing offer suggestions for engaging prompts and
clarifying instruction, present course examples, and guide session participants
in a crowd-sourcing exercise for using Canvas’s
Discussion Board tool. Together, the panelists and session participants will
generate innovative ideas and share best practices for immediate and easy
implementation.
