I’m following for other responses but I don’t mind sharing a few successes I’ve had recently.

I teach Entrepreneurship so most if not all of my students are current or future business owners. I think that probably helps because they already have some skin in the game of the subject matter. Outside of that one of my most successful Discussions this semester was when it was centered around a specific TED Talk video regarding the subject at hand that week. They were tasked with mentioning 1 or 2 takeaways from he video and how they plan to implement something similar in their own business or personal brand moving forward. This DQ was mentioned specifically several times in my feedback/course evaluations from the students. Each stated they wanted more DQs like that.

Additionally, another DQ that I received good feedback from was when we did a deep dive on a specific small business looking for specific things regarding the topic or subject or struggle of business owners for that week. We started with an article or blog post about a business, reviewed their website, and came back with 1 or 2 takeaways. Our topic that week was Segmentation of the Market-which is a struggle for my students almost every semester. So breaking down the target market of someone else’s business really seemed to help them and get them more involved.
