Another student’s response as to the experience of the discussion forum showed her to be in a stage of adaptation to the new facility:
Researcher: How has it helped you?
Student: Sometimes I try and get ideas for things, like everyone says pretty much different things so they all help you to think what you want to do, like the resources page everyone is giving different ideas.
R: How are you finding that, how are you finding the discussion forums?
S: It’s quite good. Sometimes I think there’s so much to read on there whereas maybe I should spend that 20 minutes getting into my reading. Then of course there are the six messages, you’ve got to read—you want to know what they say. To start with there was quite a lot on.
