Abstract	Online discussion boards are commonplace in higher education courses, intended either to supplement or in certain cases, replace face-to-face conversations. This article considers discussion boards from the perspective of David Kantor and Otto Scharmer's generative conversational models. It goes on to establish a rationale for applying these models to the analysis of discussion boards in higher education courses. The proposed models also establish scaffolding for the review of recent research into how online discussion boards support or diminish student engagement and dialogue. In drawing from these frameworks and related research, this article makes a case for online instructors and facilitators to adapt generative conversational models to help support conditions for constructive and transformative forms of learning in their course discussions.
