Create a New Forum Topic

Forum topics are used to discuss a particular issue or subject. Learners can create a new topic to ask a question related to a course, for example. You can create new topics in a forum for courses that have forums enabled in their module properties. 

To access forums from the Knowledge Center, your system role must have at least read-only access to the Knowledge Center feature in System Roles (Learner-oriented Features > Learn Features), and unrestricted access to the Forum feature (Learner-oriented Features > Communicate Features).

To create a new forum topic posts

1. Go to Home > Teach and select a Teach page tab. The Teach page opens at the selected tab.
2. Filter the sessions list, if required.
3. Select Launch Knowledge Center from a session's action menu. The Knowledge Center opens.
4. Click Forum. The forum category assigned to the course is listed.
5. Click the forum category title. The forum category opens in a new window and lists the forums assigned to it.
6. Click the name of the forum you want to create a new topic in. The forum topics are listed in order of recency: topics with the most recently added posts are shown first.
7. Click + New Topic. The New Topic dialog opens.
8. Enter the topic title and the message, and then click Submit. The topic is added to the top of the topic list in the forum.
