Forum
Forums are used on Moodle to enable online discussion and collaboration and to keep you to date with changes and key updates to your modules. When users are subscribed to a Forum they receive an email copy of posts to their City email.
While this is great feature to keep you up-to-date with module discussions, some students can be overwhelmed by receiving lots of email posts.
Students can set-up a daily digest for forum posts. This means that Forum posts will be collated into one email that is received at the end of each day.
