  <title><![CDATA[Engaging Students in Online Discussions]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Center for Teaching and Learning was funded with a GT-FIRE grant in 2016 to conduct a study on how instructors, TAs, and students at Georgia Tech use Piazza, a free web service that functions as a discussion forum or a Q&amp;A platform.<br />
<br />
In this study,</p>

<ul>
	<li>we analyzed data statistics from 159 classes that used Piazza during Fall 2015.</li>
	<li>we surveyed 554 students on their perceptions of online discussions on their perceptions of online discussions on their learning experience.</li>
	<li>we interviewed faculty and TAs on challenges and best practices of facilitating online discussions.</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;In this workshop, we will share with you findings from this study.&nbsp; We will also discuss about the best practices of effectively facilitating online discussions to engage students.</p>

<p>Lunch will be provided.</p>
