About
Chat
A chat room is an online
virtual meeting place where people can converse in real time.
Communication in the chat room occurs as as users type and transmit text
or as they talk. In regular Internet char rooms, many
conversations can be going at the same time; however, for educational
purpose, a teacher can control the content of the conversation.

Instant Messaging
Instant messaging enables you
to create a private chat room with another person. Like Microsoft Messenger
or Yahoo Messenger, the instant messaging system alerts you whenever
someone on your personal list is online. You can then initiate a
chat session with that person. Using NetMeeting and a camera, your chat
partner can see you live. If he/she has a camera, through
NetMeeting, you can see him/her live as well.
Educational Uses of Chat

real-time learning environment; engaging in discourse; problem solving;
