This is a great resource!! It isn't much of a site, but a site where there are download files that you can import into many learning management systems that contains weekly discussion questions as well as links to external resources to get students thinking about research and thinking critically. Which is the REAL resource that has great value! There are multiple questions that can be used each week and each is customizable within your LMS. There are occasional links that are broken, so it is important to evaluate each discussion question before assigning.
