Discussion Board Idea: Discussion forum on controversial ideas

Dr Janet Sit uses this discussion assignment in her online course Gentrology Nursing from HK Poly University:
Students post their ideas after studying a case online. There is no obvious "right" answer and there are many different considerations that can be prioritised differently to resolve the case. The instructor's role is to guide the students to think deeper and wider for more professional ideas.

See a demo of the discussion here:
