" Do not feel obligated to comment on every student posting. Much like in F2F class discussions, let the conversation develop and give students a chance to participate before jumping in with in-depth comments/feedback or analysis."
This is interesting as it is counter to our current teaching guidelines. I rarely see "conversation" in my discussion forums - most peer-to-peer responses are supportive yet do not promote conversation. Without asking questions and offering additional prompts I'm unsure that any "conversation" would develop.
