Quick View of Forums in Moodle

This time of the semester always seems to drag a bit: we're still too far out to get excited about the Thanksgiving break, fall break has been forgotten and the work just keeps coming.

If you're finding yourself wondering 'why did I assign so many forum postings? I can't possibly get to them all?' then I have the short cut for you.

You can view ALL forum postings by a student on one page. You can scroll quickly through the postings, make sure your student have hit the mark, and then go on to the next student without clicking in and out of postings at the forum site.

To view all postings by a single student:

1. From within your course page, click "Participants" in the upper left-hand side
2. Choose a student by clicking his/her name from your participant list
3. From the tabs shown above that students' profile info, click "Forum posts" (see image below)
4. You are now looking at all the forums posted by this student. The "See this post in context" link at the bottom of each post writing will take you back to the original forum location.

Happy reading!
