Discussion Board Instructions, Etiquette, and Netiquette

When you are participating a discussion thread;Post early. When you begin a new course, post as soon as possible to your first discussion. Research has shown that the earlier you post the more likely you are to successfully complete the course and, eventually, your degree program. On the first day of a new course, make it a priority to access your course(s) and make your first discussion post.Make your posts substantive. Be sure your posts are easily read and substantive, and that they conform to the instructor's requirements. In each course you take at Ezra, familiarize yourself with your instructor's discussion participation requirements, as they may vary.

Beyond meeting your instructor's stated requirements, it is important to make sure your discussion postings are thoughtful, comprehensive, substantive, and easy to read. The acronym G.R.E.A.T. describes the essential components of an effective discussion post:

● Grammar, spelling, and organization of ideas are effective.● Relevant information to the readings, assigned question, or ongoing discussion.● Engaging for other learners through your own interpretation of the topic or issue.● Addition of new information or generation of new questions.● Timely posting so that learners and instructors have the opportunity to respond. If

you have questions regarding discussion participation expectations, consult your professor
