The place of discussion in our class

In effect, online discussion is parallel to lectures and tutorial sessions on campus. Full details regarding the discussions will be made available on Moodle.

What you are expected to do in online discussions:

  • Contribute to every discussion, at least three times.
  • Keep each contribution to around 150 words maximum
  • Use discussion to clarify understandings, and to engage critically and deeply with the theme, theory, readings, and issues
  • Relate discussion to current (or future) teaching practice

What you should avoid doing:

  • Please do not avoid the discussions, or post once and then disappear. These practices breach the intent of discussion, indicate a lack of regard for our class community, and fall short of minimum attendance and participation requirements for this paper
  • Similarly, do not double post (2 consecutive posts, or posts very close together). This limits the opportunity for reflection and response from others
  • Do not post lengthy contributions
  • Do not post without firstly reading what others have written, or proofreading your own writing before posting

What to expect from your lecturers in our online discussions:

Lecturers aim to join in each discussion, meeting similar expectations to the students. In short, we aim to:

  • Be there.
  • Be brief.
  • Respond.
  • Share our own stories.
  • Promote deep and critical thinking (at times, we will play 'Devil's Advocate' in order to probe differing viewpoints).
  • Keep the fires burning.

Feedback on discussion will be given within the discussion, formatively, so look out for lecturer comments on how the discussion is progressing.
