Discussions on BlackBoard definitely require a bit more thought put into it. BlackBoard is used mostly academically. Students don't want to come off as unintelligent to other classmates, and more importantly the professor. On Twitter, people often just spit out whatever is on the top of their mind. I think some people don't even reread their tweets or think twice about posting something that can damage their reputation on the web. An in-class discussion is a mix of both BlackBoard and Twitter. During these discussions people often say what's on their mind. Students that are more articulate can contribute and further a discussion.
