I will use Discussion Forums in my online course to enable the flow of information

between myself and the students as well as provide a place for student interaction.
I will provide enough granularity of the forums so that the number dont become
overwhelming but content remains focused. I also plan on giving students safe
places (non-graded) to discuss the course material and make suggestions on how
the course is going for them. I plan on using the grading procedures discussed in
the video and documents to assign students credit based on their participation.
