ONLINE ADJUNCT FACULTY TIP #17 - Determining the appropriate number of discussion questions


What's the appropriate number of weekly discussion questions to post in an online course? My experiences suggest a minimal of 2 questions and a maximum of 4 questions. I also require the student to post a response to each discussion question that is posted by the instructor. The student is also required to respond to at least 6 other student discussion question responses per week. I have posted a screen shot of a typical discussion question.
