    A set of concrete strategies for guiding class discussions on sensitive topics. There are also some themes which develop about the general environment for discussion, and students' understanding of the role of class discussion (as compared to other projects or homework) in the course.

    Facilitating good discussion is actually really hard work. Perhaps that's why it's so frustrating when a class "just doesn't click." James Lang reviews a new book (and some shorter resources) which helps explain the steps of sparking discussion.

    Analysis of discussions on a site called Piazza suggest that requiring students to post an introduction can improve the amount of discussion on the boards, while heavily-graded discussions can lead students to "grind for grades" instead of authentically participate.

    Some excellent tips to think about if your class discussions aren't quite where you want them to be. I was particularly struck by the way some of these tips are relevant for introverts and extroverts (or other groups which might have different approaches to discussion on any given day).

    If the point of online discussion boards and collaborative projects is to get students discussing course ideas with each other, does it make sense to move those discussions to the social media venues they're already using?

    I've heard from multiple people who are not satisfied with the quality of online discussion in their classes. Their concerns sound like the ones in this article - they get more student-to-professor writing than real "class discussion", and what they get is often dominated by the better students. This article poses 2 responses: ask for private journaling instead of public discussion, and then use the writing intentionally during class time.

    A discussion with Kenneth Crews of Columbia University about copyright. It opens with a nice primer on the concepts of copyright and fair use, and takes an interesting turn at the end as the discussants consider the ownership of faculty and staff copyrights, and Creative Commons licensing.

They open with a discussion of the ways U.S. government rules on retaining electronic records will impact the teaching of history, and follow with a discussion of the Open Syllabus Project, which analyzes millions of syllabi collected from the web.

    This is an interesting discussion about vulnerability, trust, and power in the classroom (and outside it). It comes from the Connected Courses community, which focuses on teaching courses with a large public online component, but the discussion is applicable to any class where students are asked to take risks. It's an hour long, but well worth it. (It's also an interesting case study in bringing material from the backchannel into the foreground.)

    The Essentials group on Oral Expression made the point that listening is as important as talking for good discussions. Many of the points in this article are no surprise, but the lens that deep listening leads to deep creativity is an interesting one.
