Moodle Forums allow instructors and students to connect and collaborate. Instructors can develop discussion topics or, depending on the forum style, students can generate their own. Members of the course can then respond. Course participants may be able to sign-up if they want to get an email copy of each post made to a certain forum, depending on the forum settings.

Forums can alternatively be scored using a scale or a point system. Choose the grading type, then configure the settings for that option.
