A: A D2L discussion topic is another name for discussion area.  You will be talking electronically within a discussion topic area.  However, this is different from a chat room.  You can post your answer to the discussion topic area at any time and your answer will be posted.  Then, when others log on to D2L, they can respond to your answer as a part of course requirement.  There is not a scheduled time to take part in the discussion board.  In the topic area, messages are posted and threaded under each other depending on how you and others reply to a message.  The thread is organized by the subject of the message. 

For the rules of the Discussion, please refer to the course policy.

Please have one posting for each different problem/question. In other words, if your problem/difficulty is different from those posted previously, compose another one.
