Discussion boards are a great tool in online courses.  Although asynchronous discussions are the preferred way, I feel that deadlines for initial posts are essential – especially when a post & reply are needed.  Without a relatively early deadline to initial posts, engaged students may have to wait until the last moment to respond to the (vast majority) who procrastinate.  An early deadline for an initial post, will allow everyone ample time to respond to others.
