The comparisons of the merites of Synchronous and Asynchronous Discussions was a real eye-opener for me (EL102, Module 3).
I've used some asynchronous discussions in the past in my OG (On Ground) courses, but most of them don't have any of these in the course any more -- a major difference between the Online and the OnGround. Now that our OG are Remote Synchronous, I have to consider what to do about discussions. We meet for five hours at a time (everyone is in the same time zone) but I can see the value of having the ASynchronous Discussion. But I cannot, I believe, add it as a graded object in my Canvas course. I will have to mull over how to help my students participate more. LBeegle
