Online Discussions: An Overview

Watch: Discussion Boards#N#See an overview about how to use the Discussion Board.

All About Forums

The main Discussion Board page displays a list of available discussion Forums. A Discussion Board can contain one or more Forums. A Forum is an area where a topic or a group of related topics are discussed. For each Forum, the page displays the total number of posts, the number of unread posts, and the total number of participants.

Different Ways to View a Forum

A forum can be viewed in one of two contexts: Tree View or List View. This choice remains in effect until you change it and it can be changed at any time. These choices are available at the top of the Forum page.

All About Threads

Within a Forum, a list of posts called Threads is displayed either in Tree View or List View. To enter a Thread to review related responses, click on the Thread name. If your instructor allows, you can create a new Thread by clicking Create Thread. To manage which Threads you see, select an option from the Display action menu.

Creating a New Thread

Forums have many settings that control who can post and what other types of actions users can take, such as editing their own Threads, posting anonymously, or rating posts. Depending on which forum settings your instructor has selected, you may be allowed to create a new Thread.

Inside a Thread: Thread Details

After you’ve posted your initial Thread, you will most likely reply to others in your course, as you would during a regular classroom conversation. Let’s take a look at the Thread Detail page, and then we will discuss how to reply to your fellow participants and classmates.

Replying to a Thread and Post

Once you’ve accessed a forum and have entered the Thread, you can reply to anyone who has posted to that thread.

Description

Once you posted to a discussion topic, you can edit your post to correct any typos or spelling errors. Please note that instructors can see the time and date of when a post has been edited.
