- 15 Rules of Netiquette for Online Discussion Boards – This is very basic, but enough students have no idea what they’re doing on discussion boards, so it might be necessary.
- Student Discussion Board Tweet – This might be a little saucy for some professors, but it can be necessary to put students on blast for their discussion board nonsense.
- Excelsior Online Writing Lab – Discussion Board Content – This is a mildly interactive resource that breaks down a few example comments and explains what’s good/bad about them.
