Recommended Discussion Areas

To maintain order within your discussions, creating separate discussion areas (Desire2Learn Forums) is recommended. The number and names of discussions are influenced by your curricular objectives and structure within the class. In addition to the content-area discussions, we recommend that you also create the following discussion areas:

* Introductions

This is an area where the students can introduce themselves to their fellow classmates. This discussion area is especially helpful in online courses to help establish a sense of community.

* Student Lounge or Cyber Cafe

This is an area where the students can discuss non-course related issues. The actual name should be influenced by your discipline and course.

* Technical Questions

Establishing a technical questions area provides a place for the student to ask questions and look for answers. In many classes, the students will help each other.

* Reference Desk

This is an area where students can ask questions on where to find or how to use resources in the library relevant to their class assignments. Upon faculty request, this area can be monitored by library staff.

* Virtual Office

The virtual office provides a place for students to seek clarification about an assignment or request additional information. By posting these materials in the virtual office, all students can review the answers so the same question does not need to be responded to several times.
