  • Updated

Are you finding it challenging to spark meaningful conversations with your peers? Here are some effective suggestions to help facilitate engaging discussions.

  • Highlight areas of the text, equations, or figures/graphs that are confusing to you, and post a question about it.
  • If you see questions that your classmates have posted that you can help answer, help them out! Explaining your thinking will help deepen your own understanding of the content.
  • What most interests you, and why? Highlight areas of the text that spark your interest or curiosity — others may feel the same way!
  • Are there opinions or conclusions in the text that you disagree with? Highlight these and explain why you disagree. Or follow up on a classmates’ post here: do you agree with your classmate? Why or why not?
