The software allows classes to record their discussions in a forum called a perspective. Each participant is able to contribute a note to the forum. Students are supported in their writing by scaffolds.

Teachers are able to analyse students' participation in the forum according to number of contributions, usage of key words, number of connections to other notes etc.

Files can be shared in the forum including documents, pictures and movies.

Knowledge Forum is in ongoing development under the coordination of IKIT at OISE/UT.
