I think your suggestion is good but couldn't find any other posts from you other than this one (would have tried to reply).

Assuming that you mean in Moodle, I think that you will need to use a theme that let's you have logo. To avoid the "needle in a haystack effect" forums are organised by subject. This is the social forum. You should look for themes in Using moodle.

Reading about Miles Berry's work might be helpful http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=66864#p300743

Scholar.google might be a better bet.

As you haven't had an answer it might be worth looking in the Glossary and Lesson forums in Using Moodle.
