Classroom Discussion Forums
These forums are a private discussion area for students in my classes. They have access only to their specific class forum. I create a user name and password for them to ensure that they are the only authorized members of each forum. The forums are not viewable by any other users. Others can attempt to register but will not be able to access anything unless I have allowed it.
Once a week during the course of the semester, I pose a discussion topic/question to the students and they are required at some point during the week to access the forum and contribute to the discussion in a meaningful way. They will receive marks based on the quality of their contributions. If students do not have access to a computer at home there is one available to them in the classroom.
