Select the appropriate Subscription Mode for the intended purpose of the forum. - When a user is subscribed to a forum it means that they will receive notification (via popup and/or email, depending on the user’s messaging settings preferences) of each new posting.
- Students can usually choose whether or not they want to be subscribed to each forum. However, the lecturer can choose to force subscription on a particular forum then all course users will be subscribed automatically.
There are 4 subscription mode options: - Optional subscription - Participants can choose whether to be subscribed
- Forced subscription - Everyone is subscribed and cannot unsubscribe
- Auto subscription - Everyone is subscribed initially but can choose to unsubscribe at any time
- Subscription disabled - Subscriptions are not allowed.
