It’s that easy. Simply begin using Discussions to bring more value to your online courses by fostering a collaborative learning experience and by measuring the popularity and performance of your intellectual property.

Creating a Discussion

Need to keep your Discussions moderated? Assign a moderator you trust, and they can approve the best, most insightful posts or reject or delete the posts that aren’t relevant to the topic.
