Forums are online discussions that are used in most courses, addressing different aspects of the course content. How you post to a forum in Moodle will depend on what kind of forum it is and how it has been set up by your lecturer. Note that you will not be able to post to a NEWS forum as this operates like a one-way bulletin board. Your lecturer will have included some instructions about how you are to participate.
Important: When posting in a forum you must comply with the student guidelines for online forum etiquette.
