Good discussion online begins so the class can produce suggestions creatively. It is extremely important to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each idea or class of ideas according to certain factors.

Cooperative Group Work: Groups are useful when time is restricted since they optimize student feedback. Requires students to connect, to know each other better, which in a way strengthens team bonding and teamwork.
