Question:
I was wondering if you could advise me how I can manage my forum subscription settings. I wish the students to be automatically enrolled and make it hard or difficult for them to unsubscribe. However, I was wondering if I can change the settings for the lecturers in my unit, as there are many posts that are clogging up in boxes, yet I think the setting is set to forced subscribe. So in a nutshell, can I have different forum settings for students versus lecturers?
Answer:
It is not possible to apply selective forced subscription mode to staff and lecturers.
Lecturers can however turn off email notification from forums through their 'Forum preferences'. The steps are:
1. Click on your name at the top right of the screen and select Preferences > Notification preferences.
2. Scroll down to the Forum section and under the Email column, change the On to Off - see attached screenshot.
Note that this will turn off notification from all forums in all units, so it may not be exactly what you're after.
