I work at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, IL, managing the distance learning program.

Discussion Boards:

Discussion boards are useful in teaching, as they enable students to continue a dialogue after the class has moved to other topics - a nice difference from f2f classes, where the clock and the need to cover more material limit the ability to engage in a lengthy discussion.

In addition,students are able to reflect on the questions, rather than answering solely off the top of their heads.
