Learning Through Virtual Discussion: The Blueprint for Creating Dynamic Synchronous Discussions Online

In a day where mundane discussion boards are the standard way to communicate in online courses, Kellie Alston wants to lead you to something much better—real, live discussions online with students who are excited about learning from one another.

She wants to guide you through the process of creating a system by which your students can tackle any topic together–making personal connections, discovering new perspectives, and even challenging the “experts.” She desires to help you make that sometimes mysterious online experience familiar, fun, and fascinating.

In Learning Through Virtual Discussion, Kellie takes an effective cooperative learning strategy created by William Fawcett Hill and makes it adaptable for the virtual classroom. She lays out every single thing you will need to know to implement the process, successfully.

Let Kellie–
  • Support you in understanding the mindset of a facilitator who makes the learning
  • Guide you through training your students on how to implement the process, effectively.
  • Ignite a new love for teaching even within virtual walls.
Leap beyond your discussion board forums and enable your students to learn through virtual discussion!
