The problem of communication between students and teachers in an educational institution is a major concern. This is because some students find it difficult to participate in classroom lectures because of their inability to socialize; also lecturers do not often have enough time to elaborate on the topics they have to teach for a particular class, hence, the decline in students’ understanding of a given topic. Computer mediated communication (CMC) brought about the effective use of online forum for communication. This journal highlights the structure and features of an online forum which makes it an effective communication tool between the lecturer and students of an institution.
