Which Of The Following Might Be A Benefit Of Online Learning For Discussion?

First, all of the responses are verbatim, but there were some call outs from respondents that made it clear they might not understand everything I am saying here. As such, I take into account these calls outs but do not completely disregard them. If you see a call out where your perspective might be on a different page, just reply to it and put it in the thread. All the options provided also included the aforementioned forum discussions

1. House Rules are crucial to a discussion; give everyone a chance to discuss ideas with each other before you go into detail

2. Time is of the essence; stay on topic but don’t become too negative on others

4. Be open and show that you are open to new ideas

5. When you are required to elaborate, it really comes from a place of enthusiasm

10. Show your passion, passion is infectious

11. Be mindful of time. The best speakers have crafted succinct thoughts and laid it out for other listeners; this is important in the online sense, as well as offline

12. Always have a backup plan in place; what you do not want to do is walk away

14. Be open to criticism, it’s really what makes you a better listener

15. Write down your comments and come back to them; this encourages the reader to respond and really flesh things out, so they don’t become a vague load of emotion that can be easily dismissed.

16. Always cite facts, even if they seem boring

17. Go deep; if you are not able to get deep, it probably means you can’t get to the point.

18. Asking questions has a double effect. By going in depth, you’re not just asking for feedback, you’re helping other people to understand your perspective

20. Make things funny, people react to laughter

21. Speak freely without feeling defensive; people like to be able to express what they feel even when it’s uncomfortable

22. If you’re asked a question and you don’t answer it immediately, don’t be afraid to set up a follow up. Even if you’re unsure of the answer, they’ll appreciate the time and thought you’ve put into the discussion

23. You never know; they might just be intrigued and want to know more

24. If they push back on what you’re saying, don’t back down, instead ask for feedback and a better follow up

25. Find out if they feel they have been left out; you’re better off understanding where they’re coming from

26. Don’t censor yourself; I assure you that you don’t need to censor yourself; sometimes real talk can be really refreshing

27. Discuss the challenge that you’re facing and see if the other person is willing to help or even hear your perspective.

28. Have an idea for something different, or an angle that could be a win-win for everyone

29. Blame him; it’s true that there are some conflicts that cannot be resolved by themselves

30. Just tell it like it is. Complain or complain responsibly

31. If someone is being an a–hole, try to help them or see if there’s a way to help them

32. If they act on it, involve other people.

33. Don’t blame the internet; assume the internet is a bug and find a way to combat it. If it’s your concern, I’m sure there are people who can help

34. Whatever your question, people who care about your well-being will probably have an opinion on the way it’s addressed, so use that as leverage
