Forums

Announcements

Every Moodle web has an Announcements link in the top topic. This is a special discussion forum that only tutors can post to. Students cannot reply to Announcements. The Announcements forum is a convenient way to communicate with all students as it will email copies of all postings to the students’ university email address. Use the Participants list or Quickmail to email individuals or groups of students.

Discussion forums

Like the Announcements forum, normal discussion forums can email copies of postings to students. This is known as subscription.  Tutors can control whether or not subscription is allowed for each forum. If the Yes initially option is selected students will get email copies of all postings but can unsubscribe if they they no longer want to receive them.
