@md-misko - I wonder if your need might be met by the [Discourse Private Replies](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-private-replies/146712) plugin. Basically, you’d create a course category with access for the participant group, rather than using PMs. The plugin can then keep replies to a lecturer topic hidden from other participants.

(A caveat is that any _subsequent_ reply from the lecturer back to a participant is visible to all. Depending on your situation that may or may not matter.)
