threading as conversation? and other things...

Submitted by npalacios on Mon, 09/24/2007 - 8:58pm.

I personally think that forums should be places of conversation/dialogue more than just spaces to post essays that work independently of each other. That isn't to say that people should not feel free to post something radically different than what other people have said but a connecting thread can be nice, especially if a forum is meant to stimulate discussion outside of class. 

 Do you have any suggestions for other ways in which to open up dialogue among alums? Would a web chat be more helpful in a "sharing of thought"?
