Enticing students to join in synchronous discussions (live chats)

How can professors encourage students to participate in synchronous discussions?

I highly recommend using current issues. Anyone can read a book (well we hope anyway), but to add what we learned to what is happening in society....there you go!

When you use current events, do you think it is appropriate to ask students for their view of the event or their perspective?

I do think so Mary. Some students may not have a stand on issues and when they read others, the student may be swayed one way or another.
