Discussion Boards: Boring No More!, Deborah S. Adelman, Debbie Conner
All Faculty and Staff Scholarship

Traditional DBs use a question-and-answer format that often is boring for both the student and instructor. The authors present creative approaches to DBs that result in lively debates and student-to-student and student-to-faculty interactions, including role playing, blogging, wikis, and the use of voice.
