This is an excellent way of sharing images without having to go through the process of uploading them as files and linking them from within web pages. Images may be dragged and dropped into the box as well as uploading via the "add" link and the [[File picker]].

	The '''Question and Answer forum''' is best used when you have a particular question that you wish to have answered. The teacher posts a question and students respond with possible answers.

			The '''Each person posts one discussion''' type allows each person to start one discussion but to reply to as many others as they wish. This is very useful if you want learners to 'take ownership' of a particular forum discussion, for example to share something they have created and get feedback from others who will reply to the initial post.
