The Advanced Forum activity module enables participants to have asynchronous discussions with the additional option of allowing anonymous forum posts.

The anonymous posting setting can be enabled in the Advanced Forum settings and students and staff can then choose whether or not to post anonymously. They can also go back to posts at any point in the future, and change their post to reveal their identity or make it anonymous.

Other advanced features include the ability for teachers to bookmark posts and mark posts as substantive (important or meaningful). Students can not see or mark their own bookmarks or substantive posts.

A 'View posters' page allows tutors to see how many posts each student has started, how many posts they have replied to, as well as how many have been marked as substantive by a teacher.

All other settings are similar to the standard Moodle forum (see the Forum activity for more information).
