Week 6 challenge, closed honestly: nobody posted a reply to last week's challenge, so there is nobody to name this Friday. That is useful to know, and it is exactly what this week's Tuesday session is about.

Week 7 challenge, open now through Friday.

For faculty, tied to Tuesday's session, The Discussion Board Went Quiet: find one post in any board you run that got no reply at all. Answer it with one encouraging sentence and one real question back. Then come here and tell us the question you asked.

For students, tied to Thursday's session, The Email You Have Been Avoiding: send the one email you have opened and closed more than once. You do not have to share what it said. Just come back and write one word: sent.

One line either way counts. Friday's post names everyone who did it.
