Talk about collaborative…

Well, that was great! I just finished working in a chat function in Moodle where a classmate and I compared notes on how we transferred our web pages to our Moodle site. Doug was having an issue with one of his resources, so we were able to send instant messages back and forth while accessing each others’ Moodle pages to see what we were talking about. Fantastic!

I have worked on google docs and have seen the chat function but have not used it. That was my first attempt at using this type of function in Moodle, and wow! does it make me think of the implications for education. How great would it be if my students could be working on the course site, and messaging at the same time; conferencing, discussing, etc. I like this idea versus setting up a chat space where you cannot access the rest of the site without being kicked out.

Learned something new tonight…cool…
