Below is a quick description of the main features of the Design and Discovery Teachers' Forum, and the options available to you when using it.
Most pages contain a Key to the icons you will see on the screen. All the options in the control panel and on the screen tell you what they refer to.
Features
You need to log in to be able to access any of the features of the Forum.
Once logged in, the first page you see shows you:
1) The Forums currently active and available to you where you can make postings (i.e. add to the ongoing discussions)
2) Who else is currently online (under "What's going on?")
3) Recent Forum activity (under "Forum Activity")
4) The Forum Key - lists the individual status of each Forum
Your Options
Within the Forum, you can do the following:
1) Add replies to the existing "posted" topics. You can quote from the original message and can attach up to three files (including documents and images).
2) Edit your user information, i.e. your registration details. You can add a photo of yourself that will appear with your postings under the Control Panel option.
3) Privately send messages to other users and receive private messages from other users.
4) Be alerted to new postings by other users (via e-mail).
