Abstract
This working document is for practitioners designing for blended or online learning modalities and using discussion forums to engage students in collaborative knowledge-building. Five learning designs and approaches for the reader’s consideration are illustrated. Each approach highlights some possibilities, requirements, challenges, possible scenarios, and related literature references. With each scenario, consideration for context (class size, location, etc.), pedagogical approach, and resource accessibility is recommended.
