Description
Forums in Moodle ISU allow students to answer questions, reply to one another, and discuss specific topics. You may also choose to subscribe or unsubscribe to forums. This determines whether you receive email notifications anytime your instructor or a fellow student posts a new discussion or reply.
[Note: For more information about subscribing/unsubscribing from forums see Student: Subscribing and Unsubscribing from Forums]
