How do I use the Discussion Board?

The Discussion Board, which is similar to a bulletin board, enables participants to read and post messages and create discussion threads. It is designed for asynchronous use, meaning users do not have to be present at the same time to converse online.

If your instructor has asked you to post on the Discussion Board forum but you cannot find a thread within that forum, please ask your instructor to submit the first post so that the students can respond/add to the forum.
