Finding your course | Tips for being online
A Moodle course can have a forum. This is like an online bulletin board, and is similar but slightly diferent to a Facebook wall or a mailing list.
You can use a forum to post messages: introductions, questions, comments, news etc. They can be social - or also a part of normal course work - or a mix of both.
Forums are only open to members of a course. Anyone can make a post or reply to other posts. You can use the editor to insert images, change formating, or inserting links. Also, it is possible to add attachments.
If you are subscribed to a forum, it will send you a copy of the post to your email in tray.
