How To Participate In Discussions

There are two (2) ways in which you may participate in discussions:

1. You are able to join discussions under modules of any course. These are usually located under each lesson within a module
2. You are able to join or create a general topic for discussion about a course. 

Both Instructors and Learners can participate in the Discussions.

Each discussion corresponds to a course and is created during course creation. You cannot create any personal discussions unrelated to any course.
