• Forum - Forums are required and act as containers, or folders, that provide an organizational layer to your Discussions. Nothing can be written at the Forum level. 
  • Topic – Topics provide instructions, and are where the conversation lives. Topics can inherit settings from a Forum or can be set independently. 
  • Threads/Replies - Threads orReplies are the conversation in action. Learners create threads, based on the topics, and interact with both the materials and their peers.
