Abstract
Promoting active engagement in a lecture setting often can be challenging; however, course management systems offer a discussion forum tool to foster social learning through instructor-to-student as well as peer-to-peer collaboration. The publicly shared aspect of discussion boards then allows for multiple interpretations and learning that are individually mediated by the learner. This is a descriptive study of using online discussion boards and online assessment tools to supplement the traditional classroom for a pediatric optometry course. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
