- Students do not see who has posted what
- Nobody can vote on her own posts
- Contributions can be exported by instructors in excel (with student names) at the board administration
1. Go to the course, Turn editing on > Add an activity and resource and select "Board" from the activities tab.
2. Write instructions into the description field, and add a title.
Relevant options what can be changed at "board settings":
- Rating is enabled by default, you can disable it
- You can add a deadline for student posts

3. Open the Board and set up how many columns are needed. You can remove them with X and add new ones with +.
Heading titles can be changed with double click and saved with ENTER.
