JForum for Sakai
|
|||||
 |
Customized, enhanced, and integrated with Sakai by the Etudes team, JForum can now be part of your Sakai implementation. |
|
JForum Discussion & Private Messages is
an easy-to-use, yet robust tool that offers industry-standard functionality
to users. 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, and
much more. JForum comes with built-in private messaging that
allows site members to communicate privately while discussing issues or
collaborating on projects. JForum has a familiar (popular phpBB) graphical user interface,
and is liked by faculty and students, alike.
Since the 2.2+ release, JForum works with Mysql4.1+ and
Oracle databases. It makes use of Sakai's database
connection pool, and its tables are created in the Sakai database. |
