The term online forums need to be clearly explained as the article mainly focuses on participation of learners in the online forum. The term online forums refer to discussion forums or threaded discussions. This is a commonly used tool in online teaching. Online forums provide the ability for asynchronous discussion to occur over a period of time designated by the instructors. Online forums are also known as web forums, online discussion and bulletin board. As online learning which comes under the umbrella of distance learning is quite a recent phenomenon in many parts of the world, research in the area of facilitating learner control in an online environment is still limited. Virtual worlds of learning are imaginary environments in which people enter to engage in text-based social interactions for the purpose of learning.
