This feature allows your learners to communicate with each other and with the trainer, creating a space for exchange and collaboration.
1. What is the forum?
The forum is a feature that can be activated independently for each training. It provides a general chat space where all participants can discuss, ask questions, and share resources.
2. Activate the forum:
How to activate the Forum?
To activate the forum, follow these steps during the creation or editing of a training:
Access the training editing page: Open the training you wish to modify.
Navigate to the third step: In the creation or editing process, go to the step titled "Additional Settings."
Check the "activate forum" option: You will find a checkbox to activate the forum. Once activated, this option cannot be modified after the training is published.
Note: Once activated, this option cannot be modified after the training is published.
3. Use the forum:
Access the forum
Once the training is published, you can access the forum from the training’s main page. In this space, you will have the ability to:
Send Messages: Share your thoughts, ask questions, or initiate discussions.
Share Images, Links, and Documents: Enrich discussions with multimedia resources.
Save a Message or Like It: Show your appreciation for others' contributions.
Delete a Message: If you are the sender of a message, you can delete it at any time. Trainers, as moderators, also have this ability.
4. Types of forums:
General forum and group forum
There are two types of forums you can activate:
General Forum: Accessible to all participants of the training.
Group Forum: If your training includes enrollment groups, you can create specific forums for each group. This allows group members to interact among themselves while having the possibility to engage with the responsible person.
To activate a group forum, follow the same steps as for the general forum. The option is available in the same location.
Conclusion
The forum on Dokeos is a valuable tool to promote communication and collaboration between learners and trainers. By activating it, you provide a dynamic space where participants can interact and share ideas.
