What is a Forum?
? The forum module is an activity where students and
teachers can exchange ideas by posting comments.
? Forum posts can be graded by the teacher or other
students.
? A forum can contribute significantly to successful
communication and community building in an online
environment.
? You can use forums for many innovative purposes in
educational settings, but teaching forums and student
forums are arguably the two more significant
distinctions

Forum settings
? To add a forum:
With the editing turned on, in the section you
wish to add your forum, click the "Add an
activity or resource" link (or, if not present, the
"Add an activity" drop down menu )and choose
Forum.
? This will take you to the forum settings page
titled "Adding a new forum".

Forum administration settings
? A short name of the forum (e.g. "Favourite
colour"), which will be displayed on the course
homepage.

There are five forum types to choose from:
A single simple discussion - A single topic discussion developed on one page, which
is useful for short focused discussions
Standard forum for general use - An open forum where anyone can start a new
topic at any time; this is the best general-purpose forum
Each person posts one discussion - Each person can post exactly one new
discussion topic (everyone can reply to them though); this is useful when you want
each student to start a discussion about, say, their reflections on the week's
topic, and everyone else responds to these
Q and A Forum - Instead of initiating discussions participants pose a question in
the initial post of a discussion. Students may reply with an answer, but they will
not see the replies of other Students to the question in that discussion until they
have themselves replied to the same discussion.
Standard forum displayed in a blog-like format
A News forum is a special type of forum that is automatically created with a new
course.
