   2. Each person posts one discussion
      Click Add a new discussion topic to start a new discussion. This can be done by the course lecturer and students.
   3. Q and A forum
      Click Add a new question to post a question. This can only be done by the course lecturer.

2. After clicking Add… on the page that follows you can compose your discussion topic/question:
3. 1. Subject (required) – include a title for your topic/question
   2. Message (required) – this should include the topic/question that should be discussed/answered. External links and multimedia may be included here.
      
   3. Attachment – attachments may be included to support the topic/question. The maximum file size and number of attachments is clearly indicated and can be increased or decreased by editing the activity.
   4. Pinned - pinned topics/questions will always appear at the top of the forum.
   5. Send forum post notifications with no editing-time delay – if selected, this will send a notification immediately to everyone subscribed to the forum. If unselected, you will have 30 minutes to edit your topic/question before a notification is sent to everyone subscribed to the forum.
      
      
   6. Display period – this allows you to indicate the period for which the topic/question is available to the students. Outside this period, students are unable to view the topic/question.
