For some odd reason, most educators and learning developers don’t like engaging learners in discussions. As a result, most classes and learning products lack options that allow learners space to interact with other learners or even with the teacher. We are always learning, absorbing knowledge and skills from pretty much anything! Along with other kinds of social interaction between teachers and learners, a discussion is a necessary component of learning according to learning theories. It gives learners the chance to engage in active cognitive processing. It also demands that they participate in constructing their meaning and, it forces them to contextualize that meaning among a social group.
