21 Ways to Structure an Online Discussion, Part 1 | Faculty Focus
- Discussions aren’t appropriate when trying to meet purely metacognitive learning objectives (for reflections, use a blog or a journal), checking learners’ ability to apply rules (if there is a right answer to a question, assign a problem set), or for co-creating a document (for that, use a wiki). In the words of 20-Minute Mentor Jean Mandernach (2020), “you assign a discussion when there is a conversation to be had.”
- Because everyone must answer the same prompt in an online forum, posts feel repetitive. Learners also noted that if every learner reads the same text or watches the same lecture, they are going to reach the same conclusions, contributing to the repetitiveness.
- What can we do to structure online discussions to ensure that every learner has something unique to say so they form a more supportive community, and how can we give learners options in how they participate?
- This first article explores ways to structure a discussion to encourage learners to apply the concepts they have learned. Articles two and three describe discussion structures that help learners explore concepts in greater depth. Article four looks at ways to use discussions for reflection, evaluation, and critique of concepts. The final article investigates ways to foster a greater sense of community by using multimedia and proposes resources for developing new discussion structures.
- learners are asked to go on a field trip—to their kitchen, their backyard, their neighborhood, or their local mall—and to find examples of a concept they have studied in the course.
- In response to original posts, peers propose a hashtag that summarizes the ethos of the example and its link to the theory. In doing so, learners must think about how the post captures the concept.

A Badge, Not a Barrier: Designing for–and Throughout–Digital Badge Implementation
- Research on digital badging has shifted from initial implementations to deeper explorations of stakeholder viewpoints, motivations, and learning, as well as the badge design process itself
- There is still a great deal of skepticism surrounding digital badges, however, especially because of stakeholder doubts about their credibility and validity
- Practitioners have also expressed concerns about how digital badges can be integrated into existing workflows and practices
- Launching, integrating, and sustaining a new digital badge system requires substantial effort, time, and funding, which can be taxing on educational organizations with limited resources.
