Instructors can post a wide variety of course material to the forum including assignments, answers, grades, notices etc. It is much easier to post to a forum than it is to ones own webpage. Once posted, a message will remain accessible to your students for as long as needed. There are many potential instructional uses for discussion forums. If you have a suggestion for one, please submit it to ICS so that it can be shared with other instructors.
