How to Organize

• Many teachers organize their Discussion Board
  with several different forums for the students.
• Examples Introduction, Homework, Textbook, Class
  Policies, Exams, Individual Chapters, and Chat.
• Some teachers make posts part of the course grade
  or extra credit.
• Make sure to be clear with expectations of the
  content of a good post.

Surveys/Pools/Gradebook

• Creating Surveys, Tests, and Pool Questions have
  the same steps.
• Main difference is Surveys are automatically
  anonymous (cannot connect responses to specific
  students).
• You can create the assessments first and then
  deploy them or vice versa.
• Go to the control panel.
