3d: Planning Effective Discussions
In this module, faculty learn how to write well-sequenced, thought-provoking questions to increase student engagement in classroom and online discussions. The module helps instructors effectively set expectations for participation, explain the role of discussion for positively impacting learning, and develop an effective grading policy.
To satisfy the module requirements, faculty must implement one or more techniques, such as sequencing questions to progress toward higher order thinking, developing a grading policy or rubric for participation, or assigning students a self-grading activity.
