Using Forum for practice or assessment

Even if practicing in a Forum seems like playing ping-pong with yourself, there are ways of testing your skills. 

1. Go to an existing Forum, or add a new one.

Check Unit 3 for instructions on How to add a new forum.

2. In the General section > Forum type, select Q and A forum, and click Save and display.

3. Click Add question and post a testing question. 

4. Then in the Administration block expand Switch role link and click Student role.

5. Go again to the Q and A forum and verify if you are able to add a new question.

6. In case your Moodle administrator is able to provide you with one or more student test accounts, you could continue practicing and see how differently it behaves from a standard forum.

There are different places where you can practice. Check Unit 1 course guide, end especially chapter 2 : Where to practice.
