Course: Student Moodle orientation template

Taking part in discussion

The discussion forum in Moodle can be, for example:

1. A forum for current news from the teacher on the course welcome tab.
  - This type of a discussion forum is named News.
  - Only the course teacher can post in this forum.
  - You can find this kind of a forum in the Welcome tab of this course.
2. A shared discussion or Q&A area for the teacher and students.
  - The teacher can, for example, set the forum so that you can see other students' responses in the forum only after you have posted to the forum yourself.
3. A platform for assignment submissions and peer review.
  - You can demonstrate your competence in the topics covered during the course through your own posts and learn from others by viewing and commenting on other students’ posts.
  - In the forum, you can add attachments to new discussion threads or responses.
