Abstract

Successful online instructors demonstrate technological and content expertise, time management, and instructional and communication skills. While “asynchronous discussion” refers to a software that allows one-one-one and one-to-many text-based interaction independent of time, is it an important communication technique. And within a broader, complex definition of discussion resides the challenge and opportunity for faculty facilitation of student-centered learning.
