-<P>This module is a very important reflective activity.  The teacher 
-   asks the student to reflect on a particular topic, and the student can 
-   edit and refine their answer over time.  This answer is private and
-   can only be seen by the teacher, who can offer feedback and a grade 
-   on each journal entry.  It's usually a good idea to have about one 
-   Journal activity per week.</P>
+<P>This activity can be the most important - it is here that most discussion takes place. 
+   Forums can be structured in different ways, and can include peer rating of each posting.
+   The postings can be viewed in a variety for formats, and can include attachments.  
+   By subscribing to a forum, participants will receive copies of each new posting 
+   in their email.  A teacher can impose subscription on everyone if they want to.
