If the questions is #1 how to get other students to reply, then a suggestion is to make the forum mandatory with points given for concise responses. This requires YOU to monitor. OR You could use the announcement forum to send an announcement to all students via Moodle to encourage them to check out the forum. OR the student could click on the "Participants" list and Moodle mail all the other students to get them to commit. If the question is #2 about the library databases, I would refer the student to Linda Grenz in the LCC library at grenzl@lanecc.edu If the question has nothing to do with all of the above, or the answers seem incorrect than you must have dialed the wrong number... ;) Hope this helps, Meredith >>> "Jeff Omodt" 04/30/07 1:05 PM >>> Hi again I not only don't know the answer to this students questions, I don't even know whose area this one falls into. But you can never stump the faculty webmasters, Right? Give it a shot, or tell me where to go.... err....suggest where else I might direct this question.
