Blackboard Discussion Board (original experience) is a feature within the Blackboard Learning Management System that allows students to participate in asynchronous discussions with their classmates and instructors. It provides a platform for students to share their thoughts, ideas, and questions related to course content and assignments, and engage in meaningful conversations with their peers. The discussion board is organized into threads, where students can post their initial comments, and others can respond to those comments and continue the discussion. The discussion board also allows students to subscribe to specific threads, so they can receive notifications when new responses are posted. Additionally, instructors can monitor and participate in discussions, provide feedback and grades, and use the discussion board to assess student understanding and engagement.
