What a great way to customize the reading assignments and resources for students in our online courses. This seems like it could also save money on textbook costs for our students.
The image used in this post is of a small group of students sitting in a room together, (seemingly) energetically talking about the issues at hand. This is an example of synchronous discussion-the students are in the same room, ostensibly discussing the same topic (the caption says they are "debating search engine liability," which sounds really interesting to me, at least).
