The Forum is a tool for fostering online discussions and collaboration among students and instructors. Instructors can create discussion topics within Moodle courses, where they can specify the topic title, description, and any guidelines or prompts to guide the discussion. Students can participate in discussions by posting replies to the initial topic or responding to other students' posts. This fosters engagement and allows for the exchange of ideas and perspectives. Moodle offers different types of forums to suit various discussion needs, including standard forums for general discussions, Q&A forums, or group forums for collaboration among specific subsets of students. Instructors can moderate forum and configure forum settings, such as subscription options and post visibility. Moodle provides notification features to keep participants informed about new posts and replies within forums. Participants can also interact with each other by liking posts, quoting replies, or attaching files to their contributions. Instructors may use forum participation as part of the assessment process, assigning grades based on the quality and quantity of student contributions.
