Displaying Forums in a Course

How can Forums be displayed in a Course?

Forums can only be assigned to and accessed in courses. To enable Forums to display in the learner view requires two specific configurations.

Firstly, Forums media are added to the Social media tab of the Course. When creating a Course template ensure that the Social media tab is available; if not the Course type will require updating to enable via the Process complexity tab.

Secondly, the selected Course room in the Course room type (10750) meta tag must have the setting Configurable layout and the Social media panel ticked as Visible in Course room.

Providing the Forum is added to the Social media tab and the Course room type has the Social media panel enable, the Forum will be displayed as below.
