Using WebCT Chat

The WebCT Chat rooms are very easy to use just click on the communications tools Icon in the main WebCT window and then click on the chat tool Icon.

You will see that there are 6 chat rooms available for your use. You can access any room and participate in any chat that is going on by just clicking on the button for that chat room. The chat software will start and after a few minutes you will see the chat window.

The chat window is a pretty simple communications interface with just two windows and a box to type in your chat questions, comments, etc. The larger of the two windows is the conversation text box which is where you will see all the conversation taking place in the chat. The smaller box contains the list of everyone participating in the current chat session. All you need to do to contribute a comment to the group is type your text into the message box and press enter. To leave the chat room just click on the "QUIT" button in the lower right corner.
