Organizing Posts by Using
Threads
If your question is about information in
a thread already created by another student, then you must post within that thread. Blackboard provides video tutorials
on using its Discussion tool. Learning about the tools will save you time.
These two examples may help you understand:
·
When
posting within a thread is useful for your colleagues in the class
·
When
sometimes creating a new thread is useful
Example
1: If another student had posted a new message about where to find information
in the textbook for a specific quiz question and if you have the answer, you
need to reply within the existing
thread:
1. Be sure no one has
already answered by reading any replies
in that thread.
2. If no one has
answered, then you can. Click on the message, click Reply, and then click
Submit.
Tip: It is fine to change the subject line so
everyone knows what you mean.
Example
2: On the other hand, if you need help finding information for a different quiz
question, you need to create a new
thread:
1. Click on Create
Thread and write in the Subject line something that reveals your question such
as Need help on Quiz A question 10.
Tip: Just copy the
question and its answers into the Message box.
2. In the body of the
message, you would make your question as brief and clear as you can.
3. When you finish,
click Submit.
