How do I participate in the WebCT discussion board (For Instructor-initiated discussion)?
A WebCT discussion topic is another name for discussion area. You will be talking electronically within a discussion topic area. However, this is different from a chat room. You can post your answer to the discussion topic area at any time and your answer will be posted. Then, when others log on to WebCT, they can respond to your answer as a part of course requirement. There is not a scheduled time to take part in the discussion board. In the topic area, messages are posted and threaded under each other depending on how you and others reply to a message. The thread is organized by the subject of the message. You will see a blue arrow pointing forward when there are several messages related to a thread. To expand a thread to see all the messages related to that thread, you will press on the blue arrow which will cause it to point down.
