In distance education, online forums provide an ideal place to reflect on in order to induce shared learning, assessment or effectiveness analysis of a subject.

To know the effectiveness of the subject to reach this objective we have analysed student’s contributions in an online forum “class diary”, where they could reflect and discuss about what they have lived and learnt in the classes. This information has been analysed following a qualitative-interpretative methodology to identify what and when students’ contributions are referred to inquiry teaching approach’s characteristics. Results show that students know and express allcharacteristics in a different degree, depending on what is the content worked, as well as the contributions complementarity, promoting the collective construction of the knowledge
