ABOUT:

--------------------

JForum Discussion & Private Messages is an easy-to-use, yet robust tool that
offers industry-standard functionality to instructors and students.
Instructors can set up unlimited categories and forums, moderate topics
(move, edit, delete, lock, or unlock), read recent topics and mark them as
read, watch and bookmark topics, communicate privately with users, and much
more. Jforum offers support for private group work and offers powerful, yet
flexible grading of discussion topics and forums. Jforum is integrated with
Sakai's users, groups, and the gradebook (first generation). 

 

CREDITS

--------------------

Inc., for his on-going work in making Jforum a better teaching,
