"Electrifying Discussions! The Benefits and Limits of Teaching with Discussion Boards"
November 23, 2004

In this roundtable, Riki Thompson (graduate student, English) and Stacy Grooters (Doctoral Candidate, English) will discuss techniques for using different kinds of online discussion forums (such as email journals, listservs, and EPost discussion boards) to promote better in-class participation and a focus on writing as critical exploration. They are interested in exploring whether all classes can benefit from such forums or if there are limits to their usefulness.
