Exploros is collaborative, but participants may or may not be working through a learning experience at the same time. If a student is the first to participate in a learning experience, he or she likely won’t see what peers have posted to input elements. Therefore, you should remind students to check back at a later time to review and respond to posts they have not yet seen in the learning experience.

If you see an orange numbered square next to a discussion wall element, the number within the square indicates how many of the discussion wall’s posts you have not yet viewed. To see those posts, click the indicator and they will appear in the discussion pane with the students’ names briefly highlighted in orange. For gated input elements set to share with the group, students must post an answer before they can view the posts other students have uploaded.
