Open Forum
Open forum are designed to increase engagement and provide a modern alternative to standard Moodle forums.
Open forum reduce complexity and work like the modern messaging systems students use every day on the web and their mobile devices.
Unlike standard forums advanced forums are responsive, so users can read and post from their mobile or tablet. Advanced forums have been specifically designed to improve the usability and accessibility of Moodle forums.
Posting and replying are all done via ajax to save page loads, take less clicks and increase engagement, while maintaining the user's context in a discussion thread.
Open forums contain a number of additional features including the ability to see who has engaged in a discussion before you open it, a setting to show recent forum posts on the course page, subscribing to individual threads, private replies and an option to allow anonymous posting, post bookmarking, along with all the features standard Moodle forums have.
Open forums are design by Blackboard in partnership with The University of Montana.

We have installed last version of Open Forums in Moodle version 3.4.6, However, when a teacher is trying to configure advanced method for grading in Grade Settings there is no option to select any Grading method. We want to use Rubric.
Is it necessary to configure something else, that maybe we have missed?
Please, I appreciate your help.
There is a configuration value that you need to set in order to see advanced grading methods for Open Forums.
You need to set $CFG->mod_hsuforum_grading_interface, so when is set to "True", in the activity administration menu you will see a node called advanced grading.

Is it possible to have access to a download page to your "Open Grading" plugin? I am very interested on installing and testing it.
You can go through hsuforum tables and compare them with the ones from Moodle core forums, they are similar in structure. Maybe that is what your aim for with your question? If no please feel free to reach out again.

Currently is not possible to download it from the plugin directory. Include that plugin in the Moodle directory is something that needs further evaluation from our team. Thanks for your interest in our products!.

Yes, users are able to edit their own posts. However there is a time option which sets the maximum time to edit and you can find it in Site security settings.
Please let us know if that works.

I'm looking for a Forum type that is gradeable — I saw a MoodleRooms video, and it seemed to fit the bill, but not sure it still exists, or has become Open Forum, or...
Advice? Just want students to share at least one resource and comment on another student's post, and respond to any student that comments on their post, and allows me to give them a completion grade and possibly a comment.
MoodleRooms forum is now Open forum.
I came across the Open Forum Plugin and I am wondering whether it also works for a Moodle 3.6. I suppose that it is not working having read the posts above, but I just would like to make sure I understood this correctly.
Thank you for a quick feedback.
Sincerely
Henry

With our current version we ensure functionality with Moodle 3.5. We will be working later on to make it completely usable on 3.6.
Thanks for your interest in our plugin.
