A Chat Room (Live Session) allows students to interact with each other over the computer in real time. To participate in a Chat Room all the participants must be on line at the same time. To participate in the Chat Rooms check the schedule below for the appropriate date and time.  Then follow the "Guidelines for Participating in the Chat Rooms (Live Sessions)." Note that the Chat Rooms (Live Sessions) will be conducted using LearningSpace5.

Ten extra-credit points will be awarded for each Chat Room in which the student substantially participates.

The LearningSpace5 Client will download on to your computer. You need to do this to participate in the Chat Room (and you should only have to do it once). If you are working over a phone line, this may take 10 minutes. So you might want to do this sometime before the Chat Room is scheduled.

You may have to click "Yes" on the security warning.
It may take a couple of minutes for the Chat Room screen to open.
If the Chat Room screen over runs the edges of your monitor go to the top left-hand corner of the screen and click on the IE icon and then click on "Maximize."

Click on the "Chat" tab at the bottom of the screen.
You may have to catch the bottom line of the screen with the double arrow and move it up so that the "Chat" feature will appear.

Your name will automatically appear next to your comment in the upper box.

Click "X" in the upper right-hand corner to exit

1. Students' name will be registered automatically.
2. Comments need not be lengthy but they should be substantive. You may want to enter your comments in pieces (i.e., clauses) instead of long comments all at once. This will let others know you are contributing and that they should look for more.
3. Students will earn ten (10) extra-credit points for substantially contributing to the Chat Room.
4. A substantial contribution is NOT merely logging on to the Chat Room and sitting there. There has to be ACTIVE participation to earn the 10 extra credit points..
5. The Chat Rooms are password protected but you know how hackers are; anyone might be able to read what you say. This includes someone from Bangladesh, the Vatican, or your parents, or your physician, your boss, or your sixth grade teacher. Speak honestly but not offensively.
6. Be challenging to everyone in the group --- as well as me!
