By default, all users are allowed to participate in these discussions.

If you do not wish certain types of users to be able to use the discussion features, select those types below. Note your class may not have all of these roles; you may safely ignore roles you do not intend to use. (For instance, "Exam Proctor" is generally useful only for large courses.)

Types of users not allowed to participate in discussion can still view any discussion that other users post.

HTML can be allowed or banned inside of course discussion.

HTML banned: HTML will not be allowed in discussion postings. HTML allowed: Discussion participants can use limited HTML in their postings. return &{$helper->{DATA}->{GETVAL}}('allow_limited_html_in_feedback'); if (&{$helper->{DATA}->{SETVAL}}('allow_limited_html_in_feedback', $element->getValue())) { if ($element->getValue() eq 'yes') { return 'Limited HTML allowed in feedback.'; } else { return 'HTML not allowed in feedback.'; } } Course members can provide feedback about the course. You can choose who will receive the feedback, such as a different instructor or a TA. Please enter their LON-CAPA address below, in the form user:domain, where "user" and "domain" are both the LON-CAPA username and LON-CAPA domain, not an email address.

return '

Your current LON-CAPA domain is "' . $helper->{DATA}->{DOM} . '".

'; return &{$helper->{DATA}->{GETVAL}}('comment.email'); if (&{$helper->{DATA}->{SETVAL}}('comment.email', $element->getValue())) { return 'Comment address(es) updated to ' . $element->getValue() . '.'; }

Advanced: You can send the feedback from different sections to different people, by doing the following:

Separate each entry with a comma.
To send feedback to a certain address for different sections, append the section name or names (separated by semi-colons) in a parenthesized list after the user:domain.

For example,

john102:msu(001;002;003),bob293:msu(004;005;006),madeupname:here(007;008;009)

will route course feedback to "john102" for sections 1, 2, and 3, to "bob293" for 4, 5, and 6, and to "madeupname:here" for 7, 8, and 9. Note there is no requirement that the addresses be in any particular domain.

Your course is now set up. Please select the Finish Course Initialization button to re-intialize the course with your chosen settings.

Remember that all of these settings can be modified in the PARMS screen, by pushing the Course Environment button.
