-
-
Postings should continue a conversation and provide avenues for additional continuous dialogue. A good post includes:
-
-
What do you think?
-
What would you do?
-
-
What problem or challenge will follow the original question?
-
Do not post “I agree,” or similar, statements. Expand by bringing in related examples, concepts, and experiences.
-
Stay on the topic of the thread – do not stray.
-
Indicate the main thought of your post in the subject line.
-
Do not just post a link to another document/source. Provide a synopsis/highlight of the linked reference. Incorporate quotations and include the reference and page numbers, etc.
-
Weave into your posting related prior personal knowledge gained from experience, prior coursework, discussions, or readings.
-
Don’t post just to post. Don’t repeat what has already been stated. Be sure your post addresses a new opinion or thought not yet discussed.
-
Characteristics of quality online discussion postings:
-
-
Substantial – posts should relate to the topic and provide information, opinions, or questions.
-
Concise – messages should be clear. Lengthy messages do not get many replies.
-
Provocative – prompts others to reply or object.
-
Explanatory – explore, explain or expand on a concept of connection.
-
Timely – Participate/read the DB regularly and reply in a timely fashion. Posting initial responses by the middle of the week gives other students time to respond.
-
Logical – contain a clearly stated conclusion supported by premises, reason, evidence.
-
Grammatical – good, clear, concise post free of typos and fragments (similar to the tone and manner you would use within a professional environment). Do not use all caps.
Remember, online communication lacks verbal cues. Respond carefully, be clear, and keep your sentences and posts brief.
