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.

Hi, I'm using Open Forum 3.6.3 in Moodle 3.6, and although it's working fine in Moodle, no notifications get sent for new Open Forum posts. Standard Forum posts are working fine. I've checked the subscription settings and all looks correct, the schedule is setup, but no email notifications. Anyone else come across this, is there an extra setting somewhere for Open Forum?

Many thanks

Hello, I am getting this error "Exception - Call to undefined method HTML_QuickForm_Error::getName()" while create new forum. on moodle 3.8.1+,

I found a temporary solution (mod/hsuforum/mod_form.php) commented given lines:
//$scale = $mform->insertElementBefore($mform->removeElement('scale'), 'grade');
//$scale->setLabel(get_string('grade'));
than its working fine but Rating not working

Hello
I use Open Forum on moodle in version 3.6. We have a problem.
When students add a discussion, it works. The other students can answer it.
When a teacher adds a discussion, students cannot respond to it.
Do you know this problem?
Thanks.

Hi guys - this is by far the most helpful forum plugin I have come across for facilitating reading/posting/commenting - well done! Just wondering when it might be available for 3.8 installations - or are you working on a version for 3.9?

Hi, can I second Simon Davies' point? This is by far the best forum plug-in I've seen so thank you. I have one question. I love the fact that discussion titles are visible on the course page, but is there a way to customise what is visible on the course page and/or how it appears? e.g. discussions stacked vertically, discussion content visible on course page etc?

Will the Open forum be a Moodle 3.9 compatible?
I installed the 3.8 plugin to Moodle 3.9, but it says "You do not have the permission to view discussions in this forum".

Display mode is missing in this plugin, how do I sort replies [latest first, oldest first] as replies wise.
