Post your videos in each forum by clicking on the Mashup tool>Kaltura. Find your video in My Media and select it.
Once videos start to get posted, choose two peer videos per viewpoint to ‘debate’ with.

Avoid using CAPS, THIS COMES ACROSS AS YELLING.
If you feel yourself getting upset, step away from the post! Save your draft and come back later.
Add emoticons where needed. Normally, a scholarly forum does not allow emoticons, but if you feel you need to clarify your tone, add where appropriate.
