The Tovuti Community Stream fosters engagement and connection among learners, allowing open discussion in a social feed format. To maximize a positive experience, it's important to configure filters and understand approval processes. This guide covers how to set default stream views, outlines current limitations, and suggests best practices for moderating community activity within Tovuti LMS.
Setting the Default Community Stream Filter
To personalize your Community Stream view, you can set a custom filter. This allows you to focus on content that matters most to you or your learners. Currently, this setting is per user—not global. Follow these steps to configure:
- Click the gear icon at the top right of your Community Stream.
- Select "My Friends & I" from the available filter options.
- Confirm the warning box to save the filter.
- Navigate away from the page to see updates based on your filter.
Monitoring Community Discussions
Tracking user participation in the Community under Monitor > Activity. Group-based reporting for checking who has or hasn't posted is not yet available, though it’s a frequently requested feature and may be improved in future Tovuti updates.
Best Practices and Workarounds
- Encourage responsible posting with clear community guidelines.
- Leverage Forums for content needing moderation.
- Use dashboard monitoring features to manually review activity.
Conclusion
While Tovuti’s Community Stream offers valuable opportunities for connection and engagement, current options for filtering, approval, and reporting are user-based and limited. For advanced moderation, Forums are recommended. Stay tuned for future updates, as Tovuti is committed to enhancing feature sets to better support your organization’s learning community.
