The Discussion Group feature in a Learning Management System (LMS) is the heartbeat of social learning. It transforms a solo "watch-and-read" experience into an interactive classroom environment.

Here are the steps involved in the process of creating the "Discussion Groups."

STEP-1: Create Discussion Group

Go to Modules > Learning Management System > LMS

Select Class/Section, click on the "Subject Grid" to create a discussion group.

In the "Discussions" tab, click on "โž•Add Discussion Group."

Complete the discussion group by keying in the following:

  • Title

  • Description

  • Availability

  • Status

  • Settings

    • Graded (Yes/No)

    • Select Assessments (if graded)


STEP-2: Add Discussion Topic to Groups

To add the discussion topic to groups, simply select the discussion group from the list.

Select the type of Discussion:

  • Post

  • Question & Answer

  • Poll

  • Announcements

Add the discussion title, and post.

The other participants can debate on this topic, and can like the topics as well.


Grading Discussions

If the discussion groups are graded discussions, the admin/teacher can grade the discussion by editing the discussion groups.

The "Number of Posts" will display the discussion posts by the students. Click the grade cells to enter the grades.

These grades can be seen in the gradebook, and if the assessment is counted towards the overall scores, then the final score calculation will consider the discussions.
