Discussion strategies

Break students into small discussion groups to encourage everyone to contribute, to bring out a diversity of opinion, and raise more questions. Small groups can discuss the same topic and compare outcomes or discuss different topics and then share results with the large group.

Use Choice to let participants select which group to join, or use automatic group assignment to make the group choice quicker and more random.

Use Forum, Wiki or Chat in a Group mode to create ‘breakout’ rooms for collaboration and discussion.

Use Separate Groups or Visible Groups to allow degrees of privacy for group discussions.
