Chat and Whiteboard
The Chat tool allows you as the Section Instructor to create digital “rooms” where students can communicate online in real time from different locations - similar to Instant Messaging (IM). You as the instructor can create one room in which all people enrolled in your Section (including you) can communicate or you may create individual rooms that groups can work in and that you can monitor or moderate.
