Advanced Forum Module
Advanced Forums enhance Moodle Forums by providing teachers and students with quick, simple views into the forums and their discussions. Allowing users to sort and search discussions easily and in multiple layouts is key to Advanced Forums increased usability. Read tracking is a feature in Advanced forums that highlights unread posts, making it even easier to manage a forum. This saves the student time in viewing and responding to posts, and saves the teacher time in finding the posts that are most relevant to the class. Teachers are empowered to create anonymous interactions with students while still being able to provide accurate grading with advanced grading methods. Teachers are confident that their grading of the forum content reflects the content the student is posting, by allowing a teacher to grade a forum while viewing the student's posts.
For detailed end-user documentation please see the Advanced Forum Manual hosted on manuals.moodlerooms.com. Don't be confused by the term joule - joule 1 refers to Moodle 1.9, and joule 2 refers to Moodle 2.X.
