"Social Features" is a great function if you want the participants to be able to interact with each other. It’s found under the “Settings” tab in the project menu.

If you have Social Features turned ON, the following things will happen:

• A participant list under the tab called "Intro" in a course will be shown to all participants.

• A discussion forum called "Share your thoughts" will be shown under all activities in a course in which participants will be able to write comments.

Social Features Settings

You can enable or disable social features in the project settings.

Discussion notifications

When Social Features is enabled you will also find the option to configure notifications. By enabling Discussion notifications, the participants will receive daily emails summarizing new comments.
