You can use this page to outline any discussion activity requirements you might have for the module. The instructions could contain the following elements:

  • Discussion Instructions
  • Discussion Grading Criteria

Discussion Instructions

An example of how discussion instructions might read follows:

By now, you should have listened to the audio lecture, read the chapter, and taken the self-assessment and quiz. For this discussion activity, I want you to respond to the following question in the Discussion area in this learning module. In your discussion instructions consider including:

  • Your discussion prompt/question.
  • How long should the response be? 2-3 sentences? 50 words? Other?
  • Do you want students to reply to other students? Is this required?
  • How many posts or replies will you read (or grade)?

Discussion Grading Criteria

You should provide the criteria by which you will grade the discussion activity. This could be in the form of a checklist or a rubric that you build in Brightspace.
