About Chat

The Chat tool is a real-time, text-based collaboration tool. You can use the Chat tool to brainstorm ideas, hold a question and answer period, have a debate or discussion, or organize a remote study group. As opposed to other collaboration tools, such as Discussions, Chat conversations occur in real-time.

Access the Chat tool

Do the following:

• Click Chat on the navbar.

Note  Instructors have the ability to turn off the Chat tool in their course so it may not be available.
