Teaching is challenging, but teaching online courses is even more difficult, in my opinion. One of the obstacles to connecting with the students is to get them involved in discussions.
Asynchronous and synchronous discussions are different. In this module, I learned about synchronous discussions which are the ones that are done in real time.
Since not all our students dominate technology or are fast typing we need to help them by identifying them and creating opportunities for them to participate and encourage them.
