Description
Incorporating asynchronous learning opportunities in your online course allows students to continue to participate and engage in your course outside of a synchronous video session. Asynchronous discussions bring a litany of inclusive benefits. They provide students the opportunity to do the work at a time that is productive and convenient for them, to process questions and prompts to create deep and meaningful learning, and to engage with their classmates in a manner where every voice can be heard. With a few tips and tricks on how to build and implement structure for these discussions, you will be well on your way to giving your students yet another way to meaningfully interact with your course and one another to create transformative learning.
