Additional Comments:
There are three discussion tool options available in Sakai.
Discussions is a basic tool for creating threaded discussions in which posts are sorted by category and topic. Permissions control the ability of faculty or students to respond and create new topics or categories. There is a search option for searching content of posts and threads
JForum (Forum and Private Message Tool) is a forum based discussion tool that supports an unlimited number of discussion forums sorted into categories that are created and managed by an instructor. Posts in JForum can be plain text, formatted text or html and can include attachments, images or URLs. Instructors can associate a discussion with course content in other tools. Discussion forums may be group based and instructors can determine the level of student involvement in each forum. Instructors may moderate discussions at the forum level. Discussion threads are expandable and collapsible to view an entire conversation on a single screen. Instructors can limit discussions to specific time periods.
Access to forums can be restricted to designated groups.
Users can enable or disable posts being sent to their email. Users can maintain a separate user profile. Instructors or students can send either an internal private message or an external email to the author of a post from within the reply screen. Users can connect directly to Yahoo messenger from within the reply screen and send an instant message. Users can request notification when a reply to their post is made.
Topics may be searched for title or content. Graphic indications display recent topics. Users can bookmark forums, watch forums or designate them as "sticky". Users can mark all topics as Read.
The Forums tool offers a third option for hosting a discussion board in Sakai. The Forums tool supports threaded conversations categorized by forums created by an instructor. Forums can be created based upon template settings that determine access controls, moderation ability, and permissions for users in designated roles. Forums can be organized and rearranged at any time by an instructor. Instructors can view statistics on individual student participation. Participation can be graded and grades sent to the Sakai gradebook tool. Forums can be printed out from the screen.
