Forums & Blogs & Moodle

•Forums are Activities that you add to a course.

•Blogs are attached to a user not a course.

Moodle Forum Types

• A single simple discussion- A single topic, all on one page. Useful for short, focussed discussions.

• Standard Forum for general use - an open forum where anyone can start a new topic at any time.

• Each person posts one discussion - Each student can post exactly one new discussion topic (everyone can reply).

• Q and A Forum - Requires student to post their perspective before viewing other postings.

Forums and Group Mode

• Teachers can control each forum with various group settings.

• Visible - Can see other groups responses but may not respond.

• Separate - Invisible to all other groups.

• No Groups - Every student participates in one forum.

• Teachers may also assign specific groupings to the forum.

• Only student groups within that grouping may participate in the forum.
