Forums

This activity can be the most important – it is here that most discussion takes place. Forums can be structured in different ways, and can include peer rating of each posting. The postings can be viewed in a variety for formats, and can include attachments. By subscribing to a forum, participants will receive copies of each new posting in their email. A teacher can impose subscription on everyone if they want to.

Forums are divided into two main categories:

  1. General forums (under which you will find the forums concerning the whole course)
  2. Learning forums (the forums of the specific parts of the course: they are organized and numbered according to the course blocks they appear in).

Forums are organized under following headings:

  1. Forum (the name of the forum)
  2. Description
  3. Discussions (the number of discussions started)
  4. Unread posts (the number of posts you have not read yet)
  5. Track (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)
  6. Subscribed (the 'yes/no' information about your choice whether or not get the posts transferred to your mail box)
  7. RSS (the 'RSS' (Really Simple Syndication) button; more information about RSS are to be found here.
