Abstract

For microproject of Php in third year I chose Forum, Online discussion

forums are asynchronous communication tools that are widely used in Learning
Management Systems. However, instructors and students face various
difficulties, and instructors lack a guide on what strategies they can use to
achieve a more participatory forum environment. This work aims to identify
benefits and difficulties of using online discussion forums from the instructors’
point of view, and to provide a list of strategies and improvements that can
mitigate the challenges and lead to a more participatory forum. We used coding
procedures to analyse data collected through semi-structured interviews. The
results of our exploratory analysis are relevant to the distance learning
community and can inform instructors, developers, and researchers to help them
improve the quality of mediation and use of forums.

Introduction
 age |7

The term PHP is an acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. PHP is a

server-side scripting language designed specifically for web development. It is
open-source which means it is free to download and use. It is very simple to
learn and use. The files have the extension “.php”. 

For microproject of php in third year I chose online forum website

because
A forum is an online discussion board where people can ask questions, share
their experiences, and discuss topics of mutual interest. Forums are an excellent
way to create social connections and a sense of community. They can also help
you to cultivate an interest group about a particular subject.

Aim

 Interpret features of PHP web development.

 Configure Android environment and development tools.
 Develop rich user Interfaces by using layouts and controls.
 Use User Interface components for PHP web development.
 Publish PHP website.
