discussion group
Collaborative conversation forum
A discussion group is a gathering of people who meet to talk about a shared interest, topic, or text.
The format ranges from informal book clubs to structured academic seminars.
Online discussion groups—forums, message boards, email lists—allow asynchronous conversation among people who may never meet in person: She joined a discussion group for new parents.
