Abstract
In this paper, aspects related to discourse structure like message chaining, message date and categorization are used by teachers to coordinate educational forums in the AulaNet environment. These aspects can be computationally analyzed without having to inspect the content of each message. This analysis could be applied to forums in other educational environments.
