Abstract

See full text

A method and system are provided for finding and presenting content that is relevant to the subject matter taught by a course, and for facilitating discussion of such content in a discussion forum that is outside of a classroom. Because the content is relevant to the subject matter taught by the course, and because the content is used to initiate discussion, it is likely that the ensuing discussion will focus on issues that pertain to the subject matter taught by the course. Also, because the discussion is conducted in a non-classroom discussion forum, students may feel more comfortable expressing their thoughts and opinions; hence, students are more likely to participate in the discussion and are more likely to be engaged by it. Consequently, the method and system are likely to foster focused and constructive discussion of issues pertaining to the subject matter taught by a course.
