Reddit Discussions: A How-To for Literature Classes covid-19: day 648 | US: GA | info | act
This semester’s discussions for my online literature courses will take place on Reddit. Online discussions are an important component of online courses, but they are often not done very well—both a chore to write and read—especially on D2L. We will use r/LitWiki for all of our discussion posts, called Responses, to see if a better medium will help with this endeavor. To make this as productive and as painless as possible, students should approach this assignment by practicing the following.
First, if you do not have a free account on Reddit, you must make one. After, request membership in the r/LitWiki subreddit.[1] After I approve you, you will be ready to participate. Reddit is a social media community made up of “subreddits,” or communities that span all sorts of interests. If you have a hobby or interest, chances are there’s a subreddit that covers it. Take some time to look round the site if you are unfamiliar with it; join some interesting subreddits; see how discussions work.
