Discussion Board

What is the discussion board?

The discussion board allows threaded discussions and "asynchronous" communication (not everyone has to be online at the same time). Conversations are logged and organized within your blackboard site. As an instructor, you must create a forum, but students can then add threads.

For step by step instructions on using the discussion board use this tutorial:
Using the Discussion Board.

Why am I having problems responding to the discussion board?

Perhaps you have upgraded to Internet Explorer 7 or Vista. If this is the case, please find more information about how to fix this on the problems with text editor web page.
