Using the Discussion Forum - how to have your say

A discussion forum can be a central aid to your learning. It provides an opportunity to test your growing understanding of the issues and concepts through active dialogue with others. Think of it as a kind of electronic coffee shop where tentative views are exchanged and challenged, where issues can be clarified and questions answered.

The discussion forum exists to promote collaborative learning with other students in the unit. Also, as all of the postings can be 'saved', you will find that it will grow into a valuable additional learning resource.

Use it as often as you like to trade information and put forward tentative views, and consult it frequently to read other students' views
