Allowing new discussions

+ +

For most forums you will want to allow non-teachers to start new + discussion topics (threads). + +

Sometimes, however, you will want to disable this ability. For + example, this is useful for the News forum when you only want + teachers to post new items that appear on the course main page. + Students will still be able to REPLY to existing posts though. diff --git a/lang/en/help/forum/forumtype.html b/lang/en/help/forum/forumtype.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..86eec26df8 --- /dev/null +++ b/lang/en/help/forum/forumtype.html @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +

Forum Types

+ +

There are several different types of forum to choose from: + +

A single simple discussion - is just a single topic, all on one page. +Useful for short, focussed discussions. + +

Standard forum for general use - is an open forum where any one can +start a new topic at any time. This is the best general-purpose forum. + +

Each person posts one discussion - Each person can post exactly one +new discussion topic (everyone can reply to them though). This is useful when +you want each student to start a discussion about, say, their reflections on +the week's topic, and everyone else responds to these. + +

Separate and Connected Ways of Knowing

Forum Ratings

-

This page explains a theory that may help you to look at human interactions +

Individual posts can be rated using a scale based on the theory of +separate and connected knowing. + +

This theory may help you to look at human interactions in a new way. It describes two different ways that we can evaluate and learn - about the things we see and hear - called separate and connected ways - of knowing.

+ about the things we see and hear. +

Although each of us may use these two methods in different amounts at different times, it may be useful to imagine two people as examples, one who is a mostly separate knower (Jim) and the other a mostly connected knower (Mary).

Forum Subscription

+ +

When a person is subscribed to a forum it means that +they will be sent email copies of every post in that forum +(posts are sent about 30 minutes after the post was first +written). + +

People can usually choose whether or not they want to be +subscribed to each forum. + +

However, if a teacher forces subscription on a particular forum +then this choice is taken away and everyone in the class will get +email copies. + +

This is especially useful in the News forum and in forums +towards the beginning of the course (before everyone has +worked out that they can subscribe to these emails themselves). + diff --git a/mod/forum/lib.php b/mod/forum/lib.php index 1539ae95ea..e509680d59 100644 --- a/mod/forum/lib.php +++ b/mod/forum/lib.php @@ -947,7 +947,7 @@ function forum_print_discussion($course, $forum, $discussion, $post, $mode) { if ($ratingform) { echo "
