Communicate > The News Forum
The News forum is
another effective means
of communication in
Moodle.
It’s the default forum for
general news and course
announcements found in
every Moodle course.
Users enrolled into courses
are also automatically
subscribed to the forum,
meaning they receive e-
mail copies of posts made
by the instructor.
Any post to the news
forum mails automatically,
if the Mail Now button is
selected, or within 30
minutes by default.
The News forum is
recommended for
important
announcements because
it also shows up in the
Latest News block, as
well as being archived in
the forum and sent to
the students’ e-mail.
