Creating a Threaded Discussion
Your students might not have the luxury of being in close proximity to each other, and even if they are, their time is at a premium. You can facilitate out of class discussion by creating a forum on your Wed site for a structured, topic-based conversation.
A Threaded Discussion allows Users to enter an online conversation at any time and be able to quickly understand the current discussion. The Discussion Web Wizard makes it easy to add a threaded discussion to your course Web site.
To create a Threaded Discussion Web
- From the File menu, click New, and then click Web. The "New" dialog box appears.
- Click Discussion Web Wizard, select the check box for Add to current Web, and then click OK. The
"Discussion Web Wizard" opens.
- Click Next, and then click Next again. This confirms the main features of the discussion (leave the defaults checked).
- Enter a title for your discussion. Leave the discussion folder as
_disc1, and then click Next.
- Click Next on the fourth page indicating you want to have only subject and comments on a submission form.
- Click Next on the fifth page indicating that you want to allow anyone to participate in the discussion.
The discussion can be restricted by selecting Yes.
- Select Newest to oldest as the sort order for messages on the sixth page, and then click Next.
- Make sure to leave No selected on the seventh page and click Next.
