  This article investigates the components of online discussion groups in terms of their cognitive, social and teaching impact for online learning. Discussion groups serve an essential role and will be defined and their impact addressed as an active learning strategy with multilayered effects. Connecting learners in an online teaching environment is essential and integration of well-designed discussions will facilitate student learning.
