Using the Discussion Board
Discussion Board Overview
Instructors may enable the Discussion Board option on UAS course sites. You can use the Discussion Board to introduce yourself, respond to the instructor's questions and reply to other student's posts, or be part of a peer writing and review process. You could also possibly be asked to lead a discussion.
One of the great benefits of being part of an online discussion is that you have time to think. In other words, you have time to reflect on what is posted to the Discussion Board and have much more time to form your ideas before you have to reply. Not only that you are also able to view past responses, which are not easily accomplished in a classroom setting.
You can subscribe to Discussions Posts by accessing the Forum you'd like to subscribe to , then click the Follow button in the upper right.
Editing and Deleting Discussion Board Posts
You can edit or delete your posts only if your instructor has made those options available to you. You can't edit or delete others' posts. If you have posted something you'd like removed and the option to delete that post is not available, please contact your instructor.
Select the Edit button from the menu to modify the message or select Delete and confirm that you want to delete. These Options are located to the right of your post if your instructor enabled it. If these options are not visible, your instructor has not enabled these settings.
