How Can Discussion Responses Give Narrative Shape to an Online Class?
Responding in a discussion forum can be a struggle—for instructors and students alike. At its most challenging, it can feel like you’re filling out a form, skimming along the surface, disconnected from any real sense of the direction of the course.
In this 20-Minute Mentor, you’ll discover how you can use your responses to create a narrative for the class—a story that inspires students to move forward by kicking things off with an infusion of humanity. Additionally, you’ll receive guidance on making explicit connections to course and career outcomes, and will finish the program with asking the right questions to spark transformational change.

After viewing this Magna 20-Minute Mentor, participants will be able to:

- Consider the different types of questions that can be asked of student learners in discussion responses and create a deployment strategy
Topics Covered
- Connecting with student learners and inspiring them to engage
