Abstract
Higher education and online discussions are an integral part of collaboratively
based e-Learning systems. However, there problems can be associated with
current online discussion models. For example, it can be easy to set
open-ended discussions which attract little participation and to assess
contributions can be difficult or time-consuming. Students may not achieve the
expected learning outcomes without proper structure and management in
online discussions.
This paper proposes to design and implement a discussion forum object to
function within the architectural constraints of an existing Oss learning
management system (to meet target user requirements) that is a web-based
environment for online discussions where the facilitator can structure each
discussion according to its nature and where learning requirements are using
already designed templates.
