Threaded Discussions |
The Threaded Discussion content item simulates traditional classroom discussions. A threaded discussion (thread) allows you to post comments to a discussion topic, react to other students' comments, and respond to ideas shared by your instructor or by others in the course.
Discussions take place asynchronously--each threaded discussion begins with a topic identified by your instructor. You can log into the course whenever you want and then post to the threaded discussion at your convenience. Responses to each topic appear below the topic.
Many students enjoy using threaded discussions because they can compose their thoughts before they post a comment, respond more thoughtfully to discussion topics, and engage in lively debates that are less threatening than in a live classroom environment.

| Your right John. I've noticed many colleges have already responded to this demand in Michigan. Many schools have already shifted their advertising toward recruiting students by promoting online learning as a way of achieving educational goals, career goals, and fulfilling family obligations. This change is not only effecting higher education, but all levels of education and training. Governor Engler in Michigan has responded by creating the Michigan Virtual High School so Michigan can be leaders in providing the best equipped student in higher education.
