This case study describes attempts to foster students’ participation in electronic forums. Different methods were used to foster this participation. These methods varied from putting rules regarding students’ participation in electronic forums to extensive participation of the teacher in the different forums through other policies regarding participation in electronic forums. I highlight how these methods influenced the participation of students and discuss what other factors may have influenced this participation.
