Class Chat

The Class Chat feature is a message board between the office staff, Instructors, and students in a class.

Purpose of Class Chat

Think of class chat as a message board that displays correspondence in one place. It is like a group message between office staff, instructors, and students. Class chat is not a private message that can be sent from one individual to another. Office Staff and Instructors can delete messages on the message board, but students cannot.

Use Class Chat to remind people of upcoming events and closures.

Enable Class Chat

To start, click on the Settings Module. Next, go to the Web Services > Instructors tab.

Office Use

Office Staff can send messages to a class. When a message is posted from someone in the office, it will show up in purple. To send a message from the office, go to the Training Module > 🔎 Find the Class > Chat tab.

Instructor Use

Instructors can send messages to a class when they are signed in on the web. When an instructor posts a message, it will appear in green in their view. To everyone else, it will appear in blue.
