7.2. Forum
Do you wish that students work with course themes by discussing them in one or small groups, or that they submit their work, for example, seminars or essays to read and comment on each other? Are you looking for support for student interaction or whether you want to offer them the opportunity to discuss and ask so that the discussion appears to everyone and everyone can participate in it? Forum is a suitable tool for these purposes.
You can create a number of forums for different purposes. The submission of students' papers on a forum makes it possible for students to read each other's papers and comment on them. If, on the other hand you want students' submissions only be visible to the teacher, then select assignment.
