The Chat Room tool allows you to exchange text messages in real time with other site participants who are currently online. These online conversations offer a forum for getting to know other site participants, holding office hours online, providing tutoring, answering simple questions and helping with homework. A chat room may also provide a vehicle for you and other team members to meet with an expert in a remote location or allow members of a study group to exchange information.
· Chat Room messages are not private. All users who are online and have read permissions can view them. The CLE saves chat messages indefinitely, but an instructor may choose to limit the time period for which chat messages are displayed and may delete individual messages from the site.
