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.

If you like, limited HTML can be allowed in the course discussions.

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.'; } } People in the course can provide feedback about the resources used in the course by using the FDBK button while viewing a resource. If the user labels the feedback as a "question about course content", it is sent to the course coordinator of that course.

If you'd like that feedback to be sent to someone else, such as a different instructor, 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} . '".

Advanced Functionality: If you'd like to redirect different section's feedback to different people, you can enter it as follows:

Seperate each entry with a comma.
To send feedback to a certain address for different sections, append the section name or names (seperated 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.
