The Basics of Moodle Learning Activities

3.1. The Chat Activity

Course participants are able to have public (to the whole class), synchronous discussions in Moodle via the Chat activity. Students and teachers who are online at the same time can talk with one another from within their course. The Chat activity can be used to conduct Q&A sessions, hold office hours, encourage communication between students on assignments, and more. Teachers are able to use features for managing and reviewing chat discussions.
