Description
Creating and facilitating engaging and effective online discussions is an ongoing challenge for instructors and instructional designers alike. Students can often feel lost in what to post, or simply lack depth in comments to their peers. This session will focus on the “Digital Power-ups” concept to reinvigorate your online discussions, whether for online, blended or flipped model courses. Add more depth to your discussions through the use of scaffolding, and ignite more engagement in your content and conversations through the use of “Digital Power-ups” in both posts and comments.
