ResumoA virtual conference center has been used for online discussion forums at Northern Arizona University since the early 90's. This asynchronous method for discussion participation has been steadily integrated into online web courses as well as discussion augmentations for face-to-face courses. NAU uses an online discussion tool called Screen Porch. Screen Porch supports a graphic user interface and allows participants to include graphics and multimedia links. The discussion forum has grown beyond the initial text only box. It is a beguiling temptation of the technology to consider what participants can do with it without examining the pedagogical implications.
