I would like to confirm that the whole course is being reviewed as an updated syllabus will be introduced shortly and at that point the course material will receive a complete makeover. We are also working on adding more resources that are unit-specific to help students with their studies. The ISM were going to launch the new syllabus at the beginning of the year, but it has been delayed and that has meant we have been holding off with the other upgrades and additions as we don't know yet what changes to the content there will be.
The student forums are for the benefit of students and voluntary to use. There just doesn't seem to be an appetite for interacting on the forums and although we have seen a lot of interaction on other courses (mainly the marketing courses we offer) the sales students tend to stay away. We can only encourage people to use the forums, but in the end it is up to each individual.
