<P>This option allows you to restrict students from posting
|
|
|
|
|
new content in this forum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>For most forums you will want to leave students unrestricted
|
|
|
|
|
and choose the first option to allow them to start new discussion
|
|
|
|
|
topics (threads), and also to post replies within those threads.

|
<P>Sometimes, however, you will want to disable this ability. For
|
|
|
|
|
example, this is useful for the News forum when you only want
|
|
|
|
|
teachers to post new items that appear on the course main page.

In this case you might choose the third option "No discussions, no replies".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Sometimes you might want to only allow teachers to start new
|
|
|
|
|
discussions, but still allow students to reply within those
|
|
|
|
|
threads (for example within the news forum on the site home page).
|
|
|
|
|
In this case you would choose the second option, "No discussions, but
|
|
|
|
|
replies are allowed".
