Moodle Discussion Forums
How to Navigate the Discussion Forum
This guide will help you with using the discussion open forum on Moodle.
Step 1: Login to Moodle using your MyNaz username and password.
Step 2: Click on the course title from your Dashboard to open and view your course.
Step 3: Click on the title of the discussion forum to open and view the conversation.
Important note: There are two forum types in Moodle, click here if your discussion activity looks like this:
Step 4: Click Add a new discussion.
Step 5: Type in a subject.
Step 6: Type your post. You can also copy and paste your post from another document, such as a Word document. Moodle may time you out after a certain length of time.
Optional: You can insert a file directly from the computer by clicking Choose Files.
Step 7: Click Submit.
Note: It is a good idea to back up all of your forum posts by having them in a Word or Google Docs document. This way, you will have them to refer to in the future.
Note: If your instructor is requiring you to add a file to your discussion post, follow the steps on the Add File to Discussion Forum page.
Note: If you want to subscribe to a discussion forum post [get notifications when a new post has been submitted], go to the Forum Subscription page for steps on how to subscribe.
