Q&A Forum

Q & A Forums are "question and answer" forums. Instructors begin the process by adding a discussion post including their question.  Students then must post at least one reply before they can see and reply to others. This encourages individual responses to questions.

*Note: There is a bit of lag time (approximately 15 minutes) between when students post their first reply, and when they can see classmates' replies.

Step 1	Enable the Edit button at the top right of the screen.
Step 2	Scroll to the bottom of the section, where you would like to place the forum, then click Add an activity or resource.
Step 3	Choose Forum from the available activities
Step 4	On the resulting page, type a name for the forum. Optionally, type a description.

Step 6	Once you have updated settings, grading and availability, scroll to the bottom of the page and choose Save and display. *Note: It's important to do steps 7 & 8 below so that students will have a way to respond to the forum question!
