What are the purposes of class discussion in your courses? How can you use both asynchronous and synchronous discussions to help students learn? How do you communicate to students your goals and expectations around their participation in the discussion? And, how do you fairly assess this dimension of their learning? In this interactive synchronous workshop participants will reflect upon their use of synchronous and asynchronous discussions in the remote and face-to-face learning environments and apply the inclusive teaching principle of transparency to improve equity and inclusion in their practice.
