CHAT
Chat is an inbuilt messaging function of the new Moodle. With the chat you can keep in touch with other students and teachers while in Moodle. Users do not have to be online for receiving messages on the chat. Chat is convenient for student/teacher communications.
You can find the chat on the upper-right corner next to your profile. When a message arrives a red marker will appear on top of the chat icon.
The chat can be used on top of the LMS or on its own dedicated page in the Moodle.
