The Discussion Board is a communication tool used to discuss topics from class, sign up for assignments or projects, ask general course questions, etc. Student conversations are logged and organized in the Discussion Board. Conversations are grouped into threads that contain a main posting and all related replies. Your instructor will create the forum for your class and each course will be somewhat different, but these general instructions will assist you:
New Message - Access Discussions by clicking on the Discussions link in the navigation bar or choose Discussion Messages in the Updates widget located on the course homepage.
- Select the topic where you will create a new message.
- Click Compose.
 - Enter a subject and a message. You may select the Advanced tab to user formatting or you can use html tags to format the message.
- Click Post to save your message and post it to the discussion topic.
Personal Settings There are some features of the Discussions tool that can be changed on the individual user view. Click the Settings icon to change your settings for a particular course discussion board.
