Student Discussions

The purpose of the Student Discussions module is to provide a generic unit discussion area for students. This can be hidden or deleted if not required, or if other student discussions are placed elsewhere within the learning resources and the presence of this module is likely to cause confusion. Other discussions not appearing in the Table of Contents are to be set up as forums with topics attached.

Default Discussion Forums

The Master Product is set up with three discussion forums by default, Student discussions, Supplementary files, and Teacher files.

1. Teacher files - The Teacher Files topic is added to the Teacher Share Space module. This discussion has the same release conditions as the module and is set to draft to ensure that students cannot access the discussion group. For more information see 8. Teacher share space. Completion tracking: Not required unless the discussion is used for an activity or assessment.

2. Teacher Uploads - For educators with the Facilitator or greater role, a discussion topic is set to add files and links to the Additional Content Module.

3. Student Forum - One discussion topic is set up by default titled Student discussion group. This topic is attached to the Discussions module in the Table of Contents.
