Classroom Lesson 4 - Discussion Boards

Discussion boards are a commonly used tool in online education. A discussion board is an asynchronous conversation or discussion. Discussion topics are posted and moderated by the instructor. The first discussion assignment is an icebreaker activity called Truth and Lies. Each person will post a discussion entry containing two truthful statements and one false statement. Try to make your statements outrageous as possible and difficult to guess which statement is false. You are to monitor this discussion board and reply to at least three students' postings with your guess as to which statement is false. This is a fun way to get to know some of the people in the class. The final portion of this assignment will be to reveal your false statement.

You have a participation assignment, Discussion Assignment 1, to practice using discussion boards in Brightspace.
