Abstract
The aim of this project was to explore pedagogical strategies used to encourage meaningful engagement in asynchronous discussion forums on a distance learning module in a London-based university. The methodology employed was an active inquiry which involved implementing pedagogical interventions into my own practice. Data collection methods included interviews, reflective learning journals, and gathering data analytics on participation in discussion forums. Findings suggest the interventions have improved students' collaboration, participation, critical thinking and meaningful engagement. Students reflected that the forums provided a supportive environment which enabled them to reflect, ask questions, share insights and grasp complex concepts.
