Make Discussions Human Again: Trade Artificial AI Posts for Genuine Peer-to-Peer Learning

 

Tip #1: Rework your discussion questions by choosing questions that focus on opinions, reflections, personal connections, and overall impact on their own personal learning moving forward.  Avoid questions with a clear correct or incorrect answer.

 

Tip #2: Encourage short, conversational style peer-to-peer comments.

 

Tip #3: Incorporate authentic engagement that can’t be quickly generated by an AI such as: emoji reactions, highlighting, sentence stems, annotation symbols, etc.

 

→ Use this template to help you easily get started.← 

 

 

Start by adding your discussion prompt and customizing the instructions.

 

Then, review and customize the discussion symbols and sentence stems as needed.  Want to create your own symbols library?  Drag out your own custom shape library.

 

Lastly, determine how you want students to add their comments.

 

Option 1: “Add a Comment”

 

Option 2: “Add a Note”

 

Option 3: Use Stickies and Arrows
