SUNLearn forums are set-up by lecturers for students to communicate online with each other, which may be graded.
A link to a forum will be made available to students and displayed with the forum title.
Forums can be set-up by lecturers for different purposes:
You may be asked to participate in an ongoing discussion where anyone can start a new topic and others can reply.
A forum may have only one topic.
Students can post replies, but cannot start new topics.
Forums may be used for private journals (where each student sees only their own posts), or for open journals (where you can read other students' posts, but can only write on your own page).
When forums are assigned for group work, you may be able to read, but not post to, another group's discussion.
Only lecturers can post to the Announcements forum for a course and replies are not allowed.
Click the name of the thread in the forum.
Reply to a post by clicking the Reply link at the bottom right of the post.
Give your post a title in Subject heading.
Type (or paste from a word processor) your post in the Message section.
When finished, check your post for errors, and click the Post to forum button at the bottom of the page.
