What @Going_Loopy says is exactly why I have had my students write short commentaries as discussion board contributions (it also helps that I teach commentarial genres):https://handlingideas.blog/2019/06/06/diversifying-scholarship-or-how-the-paper-model-kills-history/ …

I've tasked them with three basic functions of a commentary: identify context, define/paraphrase, and analyze. I give them an example that I write, and short excerpts of discussions about the genre (I've used Tubb/Boose and Ganeri).
-
In other quasi-commentarial modes, I've used https://perusall.com/ for them to engage directly with the text in a threaded manner, so that their annotations on the text are replied to by other students. Once they start to see examples (e.g. Nyāyasūtra etc, they get it).
