Student Guide to Moodle

Participating in Discussion Forums

Online forums allow you to reflect and share your thoughts about what you are learning. Messages remain posted in the forum for participants to read and respond to within a time frame set by your instructor.
Online discussions are usually considered to be homework, so be sure to review your writing prior to posting your thoughts.
There is usually a 15-minute delay before posts are no longer editable.
Follow your instruction’s guidelines carefully to ensure that you receive proper credit for your postings.
Some discussion forums will use a Turnitin Plagiarism detector. If so, you will notice a small Turnitin symbol at the bottom left of your submission.
