Discussion Forums
What is a discussion forum?
A discussion forum is any online space where people can communicate with
each other. A message board is one type of forum, where users can leave
messages and read messages and responses left by others. A chat room
works in a similar way, but the messages are exchanged in real time.
Why are discussion forums useful?
Discussion forums are a great way for a group of people to share ideas
or information. The format is ideal for people to post questions or
ideas and then allow for others to post responses. A community-based
organization could use a discussion forum to enrich a classroom
discussion or activity, or provide a space for clients to share writing,
links to favorite Web sites, local resource information, and more.
