Summary:

Discussion forums provide an online venue for learners and instructors to discuss courses, and
to ask and answer questions. For instance, learners can ask questions in a forum related to a
particular topic and learn from each other's responses. Instructors can monitor forums as a
moderator, intervening if required.
For courses that have forums enabled in their module properties, you can view, create and
delete topics in any forums in the category assigned to the course. Depending on your system
role access permissions, you may also edit forums, update their access permissions, and delete
them.
For more information about creating discussion forums, see the PeopleFluent Learning System
Administration Guide.
