Hi everyone,

We're using Ed Discussion for class Q&A.

This is the best place to ask questions about the course, whether curricular or administrative. You will get faster answers here from staff and peers than through email.

Here are some tips:

  • Search before you post,
  • Heart questions and answers you find useful,
  • Answer questions you feel confident answering,
  • Share interesting course related content with staff and peers.

For more information on Ed Discussion, you can refer to the Quick Start Guide.

All the best this semester!

  1. As you will not be using the Blackboard Discussions, you will need to make a post in the Discussions page to let students know. Please follow the Create Discussions guide for detailed instructions.

  1. When students click on the Discussions page in your Learn.UQ course, they will see the post to re-direct them to the Ed Discussion board.
