Time for action – setting up the forums inside the meta course
We are going to use this meta course as a communication and collaboration area for all users, students, teachers, and administrators, involved with the reading program, so now we need to set up some forums. We'll set up the following forums:
A forum for all users in the course
A forum for teachers
A forum for teachers and administrators
To set up each of these forums follow these simple steps:
Log in to your site as admin and navigate to the Reading Program meta course.
Turn editing on by clicking on the Turn editing on button.
In the section numbered 1, just below the top section containing the News forum, use the Add an activity pull down menu to select and set up a Forum.
Title the forum Reading Program, use the Standard forum type, enter a short description, and use the following settings:
Force everyone to be subscribed: Yes, forever
Read tracking: On
Maximum attachment size: Increase to accommodate for files that may be uploaded...
