How Do I Create Engaging Threaded Discussion Questions?
Program includes a CD with the video presentation, plus supplemental materials, PowerPoint slides, and complete transcript • $99
A properly crafted question can engage students’ interest, foster ideas and contributions from other students, and in little time at all help transform what may have been an uninspired or “flat” classroom into a hotbed of learning in which the ideas and comments of one student are quickly built on by another.

- The difference between good and bad discussion questions.
- Why questions written for a test or essay do not work in an online environment.
- How to tease out a good question from different subject matter.
- Key do’s and don’ts to consider in writing good online discussion questions.
The program also includes supplemental materials that feature discussion questions to avoid, discussion questions to use, managing discussion and a sample discussion rubric.
Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this program, you will be able to:
- Develop online discussion questions that generate dynamic interaction.
- Lead an online discussion successfully.
- Understand which types of questions work well in an online environment and which ones do not.
