The internet offers a lot of possibility for expanding the horizons of teaching. That said, a lot of discussion forums end up being empty of life. How can teachers help nurture interaction?<\/p>\n

• Set rules for engagement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  It\u2019s always a good call to have some basic rules of behavior, \u201cnetiquette\u201d, in other words. Here\u2019s a sample.<\/p>\n

  \n
  1. Respect the opinions and views of other people in the forum.<\/li>\n
  2. Use names when you quote someone.<\/li>\n
  3. Do not insult anyone in the forum or use rude language.<\/li>\n
  4. If you don\u2019t understand something, ask the person to explain it in a different way.<\/li>\n
  5. Don\u2019t type in all caps.<\/li>\n
  6. If you have a problem with a user, inform a teacher.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     2) Use names<\/p>\n

     Naming participants in your interactions helps them feel included, which is important for communication. If you know that your name is mentioned, you may be inclined to comment.<\/p>\n

     3) Lead by example and give praise<\/p>\n

     Make sure to participate in a lot of conversations yourself, setting an example for everyone else. Also, don\u2019t forget to thank students for their contributions! That is great motivation.<\/p>\n
