1. “Café” forums for informal interactions
    Create a clearly labeled “Café” space for off–topic sharing, micro–celebrations, tips, and links. This separates social chatter from assessed work, protects focus in learning forums, and still nurtures informal ties that keep people coming back. Seed the Café with a couple of low–pressure threads so it never looks empty on day one.
    Recommended tools: Forum.

  2. Collaborative activities in small groups
    Smaller circles help shy voices surface. Use Group Choice so learners select a group by theme or schedule, then give each group its own space to co–curate a Database (e.g., case vignettes, annotated resources). Rotating roles (facilitator, summarizer, curator) distribute participation and keep momentum steady.
    Recommended tools: Group Choice – Database.

  3. Opportunities to ask questions in safe spaces
    Set up a Q&A Forum (visible to all) for general doubts, and a private Feedback activity for sensitive issues. Make it clear that “no question is too small,” and commit to a response rhythm (e.g., 48 hours). Summarize common answers in a short page to reduce repeat questions and show responsiveness.
    Recommended tools: Forum – Feedback.
