# 9 Summary of Session 3

In this session, you explored ways of introducing yourself, starting discussions on a forum and keeping conversations going. You tried to keep a playful tone, so that the forum is a friendly, welcoming and fun space, where learning is much more likely to happen.

In Session 4, you will look at online learning forums as a shared social space. You will start thinking about the importance of good online behaviour on forums and what barriers you may face when contributing to them. You will also look at how you can overcome such barriers. Finally, you will have a chance to reflect on your learning in this course and start to make plans to put this learning into action – by getting increasingly involved on forums as you move forward!

You can now go to Session 4 when you are ready.
