Student Lounge

The student lounge is a place for all students in the course to build relationships, ask questions, network, and help one another. They can use this space to hang out, ask for help from peers, form study groups, or talk about off-topic subjects.

The Threaded Discussion content item simulates traditional classroom discussions. A threaded discussion (thread) allows students to post comments to a discussion topic, react to other students' comments, respond to ideas shared by the instructor or by others in the course, and email the author of a thread. Students can log into the course whenever they want and then post to the threaded discussion at convenience. 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.
