Collaboration – Moodlerooms’ Advanced Forum • Keep up with what’s important to you with the ability to subscribe to only certain discussions within a forum. • Sort posts by the post date, creation date, first name, last name, or the number of replies. Then control the order of that sort in either ascending or descending fashion. • Mark posts that enhance and extend the discussion as “Substantive.” • Bookmark posts that you need to return to later, or that you may want to draw other students attention to in an instructor reply. • Collect sensitive data from course participants by enabling anonymous posting, while retaining the ability to grade those posts. • Grade Advanced forums with Advanced grading methods, like core Moodle Rubrics, or Joule Checklists. • Use the Joule Grader to quickly and easily grade Advanced forums.
