The Discussions' link or feature can be used in different ways. It takes you to an area in eLearn where students can post responses or opinions about topics the instructor has introduced in class. Some instructors use it as a place to answer student questions about assignments or lectures. Using the Discussions tool, you can post comments or questions and reply to comments made by other students.Some instructors even encourage students to use it as a place where students can help each other.
Remember to be polite, check your spelling and grammar before you submit your comments and questions. Also, keep in mind that your instructors are not available 24/7. They have a life, family and children. They will answer any question posted during office hours. Don't expect them to be at a computer in eLearn at 11pm or 2am in the morning.
