Abstract: The purpose of this research paper is to compare an online discussion forum developed by us with traditional in-person discussions. With the increasing popularity of online communication tools, there is a growing need to compare the effectiveness of online discussion forums with traditional in-person discussions. This paper will describe the design and implementation of our online discussion forum and compare the benefits and drawbacks of traditional in-person discussions. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, using quantitative and qualitative data collection methods to explore the relative effectiveness of these two forms of communication. The paper will also examine the best practices for implementing and managing online discussion forums and identify areas for further research. The results of this study will provide insights into how to effectively implement and manage online discussion forums and inform decisions about which type of communication is best for specific situations.
