Participation Details

The online discussion board is an excellent way to enhance your learning and practice critical thinking. Discussing content in an online environment allows you to reflect before contributing and take time to consider other student postings. By providing opportunities for networking and community building, the discussion board can reduce the feeling of isolation that sometimes occurs in online courses.

In those weeks when there is a new discussion board post, the learners need to post and/or reply to at least two other posts by following Sunday night.

Post and reply in the discussion board carries 5% marks.

QUESTION
