Facilitating Asynchronous Discussions

Facilitating Asynchronous Discussions

Thursday, October 22 | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Asynchronous discussions allow students to reflect and consider their contribution within a border discussion or debate. As such they have the potential to foster a more democratic and comprehensive peer-to-peer engagement. Discussions can be incorporated within the full range of course formats including in-person, synchronous, asynchronous and blended. The Brightspace tool supports a full range of functionality (text, image and media) which affords flexibility on how students can share their thoughts and insights.   

At end of session participants are expected to: 

  • ·         navigate the discussions tool in Brightspace and be aware of range of features 

  • ·         assess various workflows in relation faculty to student and student to contribution 

  • ·         develop strategies by which to support and assess learning
