Abstract

The world is fast becoming a global village with so rapid a growth in technology. A web discussion forum is a platform or a section on a website, that allows easy flow of communication among people, thereby enhancing the share of information, ideas and knowledge. The world is fast becoming a global village due to the effect of globalization and rapid growth in technology. With the challenges faced by many students in a bit to carry out their assignments, projects and passing of important information, the researcher deem it fit to create a social platform where students can easily and accessibly ask IT related questions bothering their minds with sole aim to get befitting answers. The result shows that users can successfully interact with their peers through the platform. This is in a bit to harmonize with the educational philosophy that makes communication a necessary tool and fundamental mechanism for effective learning. This study designed a web based discussion forum where students in tertiary institutions can come together to interact without the fear of prejudice. It was discovered that the interactions of the learners, their participation in the technology-mediated education was essential for the quality of learning experience acquired over the cost of the time.
