Description
Did you know that discussion forums are a great way to create safe and inclusive learning environments? When thoughtfully designed, they provide space for all learners to contribute at their own pace, using text-based engagement that can reduce social barriers and enable more equitable participation.
However, many trainers struggle to realise this potential, and their discussion forums are met with crickets instead of conversation. It's time to turn those digital graveyards into thriving communities of engaged learners!
In this must-have workshop, you’ll learn the research-backed 6-step formula for discussion forum success, with actionable strategies you can immediately implement
PLUS, you’ll receive the must-have simple planning tool that’ll save you time.
