To meet student to student contact title 5 standards on discussion boards, here are some ideas:
Create a student discussion board café or lounge so students can ask questions or seek help from one another in case you can’t get back to them immediately with questions they may have about the class or an assignment.
Make sure your weekly discussion boards require students to respond to each other.
Create peer review assignments where students critique each others work or create a group project that requires weekly segments to complete together.
