    Over the past few years, management education has been experiencing an increased Interest in using internet and communication technology tools (ICT). While ICT has been widely Used in distance and online mode of education, it is being increasingly used along with the face-To-face lectures to augment and support classroom learning. The use of online discussion forum (ODF) has emerged as a common and effective tool of engaging students outside the Classroom. ODF is an e-learning platform that allows students to post messages to the discussion threads, interact and receive feedback from other students and instructor, and foster deeper Understanding towards the subject under study. In an ODF there is no loss of data as the students’ written messages are stored in the virtual space, and can be retrieved and reviewed anytime.
