Designed to encourage students to participate in discipline specific real-world discussions, this assessment sees students post in the 'comments' section of online news websites, using either the originally posted article or an existing comment as stimuli. Students write a total of three comments, the best two of which are marked.

Throughout the semester students are asked to participate in online discussions of the course content. This task works really well for topics that have a visual component but could be used in other courses.
