discussion
The discussion feature is similar to a bulletin board. The lecturer creates a topic, and the attending students post comments related to this. Attending students may also create topics depending on the course settings.
Creating Discussion Topics
-
Click on (1) [+] to add a module.
-
Select (2) Discussion, and then select (3) [New Topic] if a discussion linked to the lecture is to be created. Select [授業全体に対する要望 / Request for All Classes] if a discussion to be carried across all classes in the course is to be created. Enter the name of the discussion topic in (4), and then click on (5) [Add Item] to create it.
-
Click on the created (6) Discussion Topic Title.
-
Click on (7) [Edit] .

Enter a description of the discussion in (8). The (*) symbol enables the targets of the relevant discussion to be selected. If sections (attending students separated into easily-manageable groups for distributing teaching materials, etc.) of the relevant course are to be set, it is possible to select each of these sections as the target. It is also possible to attach files with (9).
