This document discusses designing dynamic virtual discussions for online learning spaces. It emphasizes creating a culture of thinking through strengths-based and positive approaches like appreciative inquiry. Design considerations include developing trust and voice, facilitating discourse and questioning, and moving beyond just sharing information to jointly constructing understanding. Specific discussion techniques are proposed, such as storytelling, active listening, modeling questioning, and providing scaffolds to support elaboration and critical thinking online.

- organizations are created, maintained and changed by conversations
- paraphasing, clarifying, restating, keeping the I out of it,
