Carmen Discussions

Dive into the world of Carmen’s discussion tool – it’s like the virtual coffee shop where students hang out, chat about class topics, and get to know one another. It’s a super spot for sparking those lightbulb moments and having those “Oh, I get it now!” conversations. If you’re new to Carmen or just looking to shake things up in your class, the discussion tool is a fantastic place to start. Let’s get the conversation rolling!
