One of Twinspace offered tools are forums. Although forums can be used for collaboration, interaction and
communication between all participants (teachers, students, visitors) not all of them have the same rights on them so,
point out that:
 Forums can be created only by teachers-administrators
 Teachers members and pupils-administrators can’t create forums but they can create threads inside forums
 Pupils members and visitors can only replay inside treads of forums
 There is no limit to the number of forum
 Forums can’t be erased, they can only be archived, just like pages
 Forums are visible only to Twinspace members.
