Now that we’ve seenthe Grades module,

let’s take a look at Chat.

Page 9: The Grades and Chat modules. This presentation covers two unrelated modules... … and Grades. Because these topics are short they are combined into one.

The Manhattan Virtual Classroomis primarily designed for“asynchronous”communication.

This means the peopleexchanging messages

don’t have to be logged inat the same time.

Discussions can becarried on over a periodof hours, days, or even

weeks.

You can only“chat” with

people who arelogged in

at the sametime as you.

Because of this, Chat sessions should be planned in advance.“I’ll see you in Chat on Tuesday evening at 7 PM.”

The Chat module, in contrast, is designed for“synchronous”communication.

Whenever you are inchat, you are in a particular

‘channel’. Think of each channelas an individual private chatroom.When you first enter

chat, you are placed in a “channel” that’sdedicated to your

classroom.

Only the teacher and studentsin your class can enter this

channel or view the recorded transcripts afterwards.
