How to engage with other learners in the course
This course uses Discussions -- so that you can engage with other learners!
There are a few main ways to use Discussions:
1. Weekly Discussions
Each week, you will have the opportunity to engage with other students around that week's content. Post general impressions about the topic of the module, ask outstanding questions, and converse with fellow students.
2. Homework Assignments (Modules 2, 4, and 9)
In addition to a general weekly discussion, Modules 2, 4, and 9 included homework assignments that involve a discussion component.
3. Course-wide Discussion Forum
There is also a course-wide Discussion Forum, which you can access by clicking "Discussion" at the top of the course screen. This is the place for you to discuss the general topics related to the course, share resources, pose questions to fellow students, etc. (under "General").
If you want to keep track of who is replying to your posts, click the “Discussion” tab and check the box to receive daily digests about new activity on your posts. This is a great way to keep engaged with the course and contribute to a meaningful learning environment!
