  From "Moodle for Dummies" pg 159, Reasons for Forums:
  
  engage learners in collaborative projects
  enable learners to practice skills not supported in traditional class settings
  learners participate in forum discussions more than traditional classroom settings
  increase participation factor of a number of reasons:
  shyness less of a factor
  language barriers less hinderance
  peer pressure lessened
  overcome communication problems using computers' usability
  participants have time to research and think out their answers
  
  Observation: In a OLL/N LE (on-line learning / networked learning experence), any factor that encouages particpation should be encouraged. This actually goes nicely with principle one of the connectivism: diversity of opinion.
