摘要：Web‑based conversational learning is becoming the preferred choice in many educational training programs, taking place both synchronously or asynchronously. Threaded forums, are the most popular asynchronous discussion environments but often do not foster productive discussions naturally. Moderators can play an important role to bring strategies to energize the discussion and make it more productive. One such concept of creating Moderator Diary (MD) to foster web-based discussion has been tried on a web‑based interacting platform (email list management software), and generated qualitative evidence through peer feedback. The MD which is used as a daily summary tool also helped to motivate and give directions to channel the online discussion.
