Block chain discussion and replies

In chapter 6, the author describes basic components of a business network. Create a new thread, choose one of the types of participants discussed in chapter 6, and explain how you think the chosen participant type could effectively use assets in an enterprise blockchain environment to impact the organization’s outcomes.

Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 5 or 6. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion. 

You must do the following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, choose one of the types of participants discussed in chapter 6, and explain how you think the chosen participant type could effectively use assets in an enterprise blockchain environment to impact the organization’s outcomes. Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 5 or 6. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.

2) Select AT LEAST 3 other students' threads and post substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should answer AT LEAST one of the questions posed in the thread and extend the conversation started with that thread. Make sure that you include the question in your comment so I can see what question you’re answering.

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive AND ORIGINAL. (I'm looking for about a paragraph - not just a short answer.) Do not plagiarize!! Use your own words.

The discussions in this class exist to simulate face-to-face discussions. To reach that goal, we will adhere to the 3CQ model. After posting each thread, you will post at least 3 comments on other students’ threads, and each comment must conform to the 3CQ model (Compliment, Comment, Connect, Question). This model encourages discussions that extend class learning and participation.

Here is a description of the 3CQ model:

1.            Compliment – Start off positive. Compliment the person on something specific you have read or observed in the person’s blog post.  For example:

• Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I really liked …

2.            Comment – Comment on something relevant and meaningful about what the person wrote. Be specific! Remember your comment might not always be agreement. You can “politely” disagree.  For example:   

• I agree with you about …


• I respect your opinion, but I think …

3.            Connect – Connect with something the person wrote (Text-to-Self, Text-to-Text, Text-to-World). Explain your connection with details giving your audience a clear idea of what you’re talking about by using sensory details.   For example:

• I can connect with you about …


• I once read a story about …


• I had the same thing happen to me…

4.            Question - Ask a specific question about something written or the writer. Keep the conversation going!

Remember that ALL discussions must use the 3CQ approach to interaction.
