I miss the often brilliant humor, the collective wisdom, the larger-than-life posters and imposters ... I'd hate to lose access to all of that.

It would be nice to think something could be worked out.

M.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

There is a guest editorial in CHE today entitled The Secret Weapon of Good Online Teaching: Discussion Forums

Some key advantages include   

  • Students can submit discussion posts at any time of the day or night, and they don't need a fast internet connection to do so.
  • They're not required to show their physical surroundings to participate.
  • Forums get students to interact with one another, which is crucial to helping them feel connected and engaged in virtual classrooms
