Forums
The forums can be considered as virtual classrooms and it is the space for engaging
different groups of the same ideology together so they can discuss the topics and
make them clear. The Odoo platform recognizes the importance of forums and allows
you to create various forums under the e-learning module. To create a new forum,
you should enable the forums option available in the setting menu of the eLearning
module.
eLearning -> Configuration -> Settings.

After enabling the Forum option, you can view the forums menu in the eLearning dashboard.
