Management of the forum of a course (learningCloud)

You will be able to manage the forums associated to the courses for which you are a tutor. Take into account that not all the courses have a forum; but only those in which the administrator has decided that it is necessary.

Accessing the forum

  1. Go to Training and select the Training in progress tab.
  2. Click on the name of one of the courses in which you have the tutor role.
  3. Select the Forum tab. You will see the list of the topics of the forum.

Creating and deleting a topic

Discussions on the forum are structured into topics or threads to facilitate their organisation. If you are the tutor of the course, you will receive a notification when a user creates a topic in the course.

To create a new topic in the forum:

  1. Go to the forum (see previous section).
  2. Click on New Topic.

You delete all the content of a topic when you delete it. Make sure that you will not need to access that topic later.

Remember
You can only delete the topics you have created, not the ones created by the administrator or a student.
