Interactive Asynchronous Discussions with Discuss-It in LibreTexts’ ADAPT
Fri March 7, 2025 @ 12:00 am - 1:00 am BST

Ready to energize your asynchronous online discussions? In this session, our panel of instructors will introduce Discuss-It, a powerful extension of the LibreTexts’ ADAPT homework platform that fosters active learning, student engagement, and collaboration in online courses.
This tool, available for free in California, supports asynchronous student-to-student interaction and instructor-student communication through multimedia options, enhancing the learning experience for all students. Discuss-It also prioritizes accessibility and inclusivity, offering features like auto-captioning, and auto-transcription with editing capabilities in multiple languages, powered by OpenAI’s Whisper technology. With its seamless integration with Canvas and other learning management systems for automatic gradebook syncing, Discuss-It can be a powerful teaching tool and streamline course management for instructors.
Discuss-It allows students to engage in threaded discussions using text, audio, and video responses, creating a more interactive and engaging online learning environment. By promoting creativity and enabling students to express their thoughts in diverse ways, it encourages meaningful conversations with their peers. Peer review and feedback are also integral to Discuss-It, promoting reflection and increasing accountability among students.
Join us to discover how Discuss-It can transform online learning by creating an engaging, inclusive, and collaborative learning environment.
