This is the page where you can see all the forum activities in the course. They are divided into two main categories: 'General forums' (under which you will find the forums concerning the whole course) and 'Learning forums' (the forums of the specific parts of the course: they are organized and numbered according to the boxes of the course they appear in).

On this page, you will find the name of the forum (under the heading '''Forum'''), its short description ('''Description'''), the number of discussions started in the forum ('''Discussions'''), the number of posts you have not read yet ('''Unread posts'''), the 'yes/no' information about your choice whether or not track the unread posts - if your choice is negative, you will find an '-' sign instead of the number of the posts unread (heading '''Track'''), the 'yes/no' information about your choice whether or not get the posts transferred to your mail box ('''Subscribed''') and the 'RSS' (Really Simple Syndication) button ('''RSS'''): more information about RSS are to be found [[RSS|here]].
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.
