Creating and facilitating effective discussions in online courses

Help me with an upcoming session I have with a group of online educators on creating and facilitating online discussions!

I am interested in what practitioners do to create, facilitate, and assess effective online discussions.

Are you an online educator and/or course designer? If so, do you have a few minutes to share a tip, an example, and/or resource for how you effectively use online discussions?

If so, please complete this short GOOGLE FORM or if you prefer, jump into this GOOGLE DOC.

I will share what I end up with!
