The

Unanswered Questions

Protocol

 This page was designed by Gary L. Ackerman for use by students in his graduate courses and teacher workshops focusing on educational technology.  Others are welcome to use the pages, but please drop Gary an email to describe who you are and how you are using the page.

One of a modest collection of protocols to facilitate discussion board interactions.
 

  • This protocol begins with a participant posting a message which contains a proposal or an idea.

  • The initial proposal is followed by others posting comments which pose a question (and only a question).

This protocol is designed to:

  • Gather multiple perspectives

  • Understand connections among issues

This protocol works best when:

  • The questions are either ignored by the author of the original message or the question emerges in the original proposal.

  • Comments contain only questions (no elaboration allowed).
