Once your forum is set up, you will be sent information that includes the URL of your forum and your login id and password for the administrative option. Also, as new and better web conferencing systems emerge, Computing Services will evaluate and possibly switch to other systems. Information needed person requesting forum Must be faculty, staff, or instructor on campus. This can be one or two paragraphs, if desired. This information shows up on the opening page and should give participants an overview of the goals and objectives of the forum.
Most forums allow anyone to add a topic since it is for discussion purposes.
We recommend that you don't restrict who can read and post to your forum. Most instructors report very few problems with postings from students not enrolled in their class. You can choose not to restrict your forum and if you have problems with outside postings, you can request that restrictions be set up later.
