The Discussion Board is an area where professor (moderator) and student (participant) comments are organized into an asynchronous conversation. Professors can create discussions around individual course lessons or for the course in general. Conversations are organized within a topic forum as threads that contain a main posting and all corresponding replies.

A Journal is a collaborative tool that allows students to clearly express their ideas about the course or discuss and analyze course-related materials. Journals are an effective means of sharing knowledge and materials.
