They don't seem to interact very much in the forum. As I did not attend the course, I cannot say about whether they are active or not when they give feedback to the students.

Students are invited to share their final thoughts on the course and reflect on their work. In many instances, they have to evaluate the tools and talk about their challenges or obstacles.

In Week 5, students will reflect on what they have learned in the course, how they dealt with each component of the digital storytelling process and discuss the challenges they faced, as well as how they dealt with these challenges in creating their digital story. Besides, they will have the option of revising the final version of their digital story. If they do not need to revise it, they have to complete the Final Digital Story Assessment as an assignment

In Week 4, students will explore how to assemble all of the elements (text, images, narration, and if they choose, music and/or video clips) to create the final version of their digital story and publish it online.  This class has 12 videos and 3 readings. In their fourth assignment students have to publish their digital story.

The first discussion invites students to introduce themselves (where they are from, what they do, anything that they already know about digital storytelling, and their hopes in  this course). This clearly depicts the second stage of the E-Learning model (Salmon, 2000): online socialization.

There are two tutors in the course: Bernard R. Robin and Sara McNeil. Both of them are professors at the University of Houston and experts in the educational uses of digital storytelling.
