Would anyone else find it useful, when the teacher is viewing the forums, to see who in the class has not participated?  In the journal, this is a feature (and is pretty great).  I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way.

Or maybe a tiny report hitlist that lists the students in the class and then identifies how many times they have posted in the forum...

Thanks,

TM

Tracking who's in class may not be that imporatant in my point of view, but a report "that lists students in the class and then identifies how many times they have posted in the forum" is necessary if participative learning is to be made effective.

There's also a big need for a "Group creation" tool. Admins and faculty should be able to create learner groups.

In fact, Categories works great for groups creation.
In my page we have categories like "computers" and others like "3B grop" with "Math, Geo, Lit, and ohter" courses of this group.

Hi Tom
Excuse me for the delay.
In fact we find useful setup catogories as groups. 3ºB for example.
Then we have all the courses of this group in this categorie (Math, Philo...)
The point is that categories don't have forums, as main page and courses has.
Well, at the beginig we planned to add a course called 3ºB Main (or something) to be displayed in "social format" at the top of all course list and "force all suscription" enabled on it "news forum", to post there every issues group related.
In fact, later we discarded this all.
The forums inside each course do the job quite well. Each course have their own News forum that "force all" and email every post to every one... there is no way to not be "in touch".
I hope my english are enough to explain myself.
Best regards.
