14. Hollander (2002) discusses the need to present participation
as a collective responsibility of the class rather than just an
individual responsibility. In order to facilitate a conversation
where connections are made, students need to view their
participation as a contribution to a shared experience.
Asking students to respond to a peer’s response helps to
facilitate a conversation. As well, positively reinforcing such
contributions builds this sense of collectivism.
