Create topics

Forum topics are determined ahead of time by organizers. We suggest creating topics like:

  • What session are you most excited for this week?

  • Introduce yourself!

  • What were your biggest takeaways from day 1?

  • Help desk

  • FAQ

The JUNO team will help you build the topics in the content management system. You should provide this information for each topic:

Excerpt

Moderation

Attendees can edit or delete their own posts. As a site admin, you have control of all content. You can delete any post.

Planning forums

Keep these guidelines in mind when planning to use social feeds:

Increasing forum engagement

Users receive platform notifications and a weekly email about activity in the forum. Learn more about the forum digest email, including your configuration options.

To make sure attendees can easily find the forum, we recommend locating it prominently in your navigation.

You can also advertise the forum from your home page or another page. Our Popular Social Posts module lets you feature posts from the forum and/or social feed. Clicking a post sends users directly to the conversation.

Planning a forum for a multi-site platform

You can add the forum to multiple sites

...

. But note that the content will be shared across sites. If someone posts to

...

the forum on one site, people on the other site see it too.

The forum can be built to fit your needs! See your configuration options.
