Attention to all Course Instructors,
We recommend the use of 'Open Forum' for your forum discussions.
Open Forum is designed to increase engagement. Open forum reduce complexity and works like the modern messaging systems students use every day on the web and on their mobile devices allowing users to read and post from their mobile or tablet.
Posting and replying are all done via ajax to save page loads, take less clicks and increase engagement, while maintaining the user's context in a discussion thread.
Open Forums contain a number of additional features including the ability to see who has engaged in a discussion before you open it, a setting to show recent forum posts on the course page, subscribing to individual threads, private replies and an option to allow anonymous posting, post bookmarking, along with all the features standard Moodle forums have.
Thank you and have a happy day ahead.
