How to Create and Sustain Meaningful Discussions in Online Courses?

Ana-Paula Correia, Natalya Koehler

2017

Abstract

While taking online courses students are required to participate in online discussions. These are often mandatory activities that count towards the course final grade. Even though, in many occasions, online students find this requirement dreadful and unproductive. A case study has been conducted with a postgraduate educational technology online course at a large university in the United States. This course offers two innovative strategies to overcome this issue and concomitant evidence of effectiveness.
