TWU ID / TWU Tips – Socratic Questioning Techniques to Prompt Interaction on the Discussion Board
“Encouraging Effective Discussion.
We also suggest you spend some time explaining the value of participation on the board and to establish your expectations for participation. While you are doing this, consider spending some time explaining to students how to listen to others, how to validate others’ opinions and beliefs, the usefulness of paraphrasing to clarify understanding, the importance of summarizing, and how to encourage others to participate in the discussion. Realize that many students do not know these skills intuitively and spending some time or pointing to some online resources may help students to have a more successful experience in the board.”

If you are too quick to reassure or if you patronize the poster, communication suffers

It is important to validate feelings and opinions, but take care to not put too much focus on the feelings and lose sight of the discussion at hand.

Most teachers and administrators have not learned in a 1:1 environment, and have little to fall back on with regard to strategies and activities to use in their classrooms or, the necessary support for continuous reflection upon and incorporation of effective changes in instructional practice. “
