How to allow students to reply to News Forum posts in Moodle

  1. E.g. with this: “I have seen this post. I have followed  the instructions. It worked for me.”Smile
  2. Answered here: http://moodle.bath.ac.uk/faq/content/12/182/en/can-students-reply-to-news-forum-posts.html 
  3. Does not work in our installation which is being investigated – maybe with good reason: I every study is forced to subscribe and can respond, their tend to be email floods which rather hide than surface important information.
  4. Workaround:
      1. Hide the news forum;
      2. create a regular Moodle Forum, where students can respond by default
      3. ask your users to read it and maybe monitor reading with tracking
      4. do not force them to subscribe = receive email
      5. lrc news forum 
      6. I also hid the “Latest News” block, in the hope that the “Recent Activity” block can replace it: lrc news forum replaced
