Create an integrated forum to structure exchanges between parents, teachers and administrators within your school.

CommunicationOptional module

The Eduka Forum module allows schools to create a structured and centralized discussion space within their institution.

Delivered in a simple and familiar format (categories, discussion threads, replies), it encourages information sharing, peer support and communication between all members of the school community. The module integrates seamlessly into the Eduka ecosystem.

A central exchange for communication within the school

The Forum module provides schools with a clear, organized, and sustainable discussion tool, preventing exchanges from being scattered across emails, informal groups, or external applications.

Discussions are delivered via categories and individual threads, which makes it easy for users to find information, participate in relevant conversations and access an archive of all previous exchanges. The Eduka forum is a reference space for non-urgent, collaborative and community driven exchanges.

Key features

  • Permission based access via user profiles and access rights set by the school
  • Creation of categories to organize discussion threads
    • Ability to restrict categories to certain groups (e.g. category accessible only to mathematics teachers)
  • Creation of discussion threads within each category
  • Structured replies with chronological tracking of exchanges
  • Clear and intuitive access via the Eduka portal
  • Complete discussion history retained over time
  • Secure and moderated communication space
  • Ability to publicly share some or all forum categories (integration with the school’s website)
  • Bulk forum management: ability to delete, lock, move, and unpublish threads and categories in bulk (for example, when archiving a forum at the end of the school year)

A module with endless use cases for schools

The Forum module can be utilised in many different ways, depending on the school’s needs and culture:

School life & community

  • General information forums (school year start info, events, ongoing projects…)
  • Parental discussions related to school life
  • Sharing of best practices and school feedback

Family support & collaboration

  • School carpooling (home-to-school routes, activities, trips)
  • Local recommendations (activities, services, providers)
  • Organization of community or solidarity initiatives

Education and projects

  • Discussions around school trips or collective projects

A community tool fully integrated into the Eduka ecosystem

Unlike external solutions, the Eduka Forum module is fully embedded within the Eduka platform:

  • No need for additional tools or user accounts
  • A consistent interface aligned with the rest of the platform
  • Governance fully controlled by the school
  • An ideal foundation for building a structured school community
