Asynchronous Discussion Tools

Asynchronous discussion tools allow you and your students to engage one another in a common forum outside of your classroom. Students can respond to a prompt or question presented by their instructor and then use text, audio, or video messaging to reply and engage in an ongoing dialogue. The Instructional Technology team encourages the use of the following tools to engage students in conversations that extend beyond your classroom walls. Please contact the ITS Service Desk at helpdesk@lmu.edu or 310-338-7777 (x7777) or reach out to your Instructional Technologist to learn more about asynchronous discussion tools and how they might be incorporated into your coursework.
