How can I post forum messages to different teaching groups?


You can set up discussion forums in Study Direct so that different groups of students have their own discussion forum space.

The first step is to set up groups of students. See How do I set up groups? FAQ 1430.

When setting up the forum (see How do I set up a forum? FAQ 2247) select one of the group modes

If you choose Separate groups, students and non-editing tutors will not be able to see other groups’ discussions,

If you select Visible groups, students and non-editing tutors will be able to see the discussion but not contribute.

When staff and students access your site, they will see a single forum. When students access this forum, they see a forum based on just those students in their group. When staff access the forum, they can choose to view all postings or to filter by group.
