Using Chat

Breakout rooms for collaborative work:
Create several Chat activities on your Moodle site and give permissions to groups of users to access one of them.
This way, you create breakout rooms for them to chat on a project or an assignment they have to prepare collectively.

Chatting during a simulation:

Ask small groups of learners to take on the roles of forecaster and air traffic control. While using a simulation tool to forecast a rapidly evolving situation, they have to practice good communication skills using chat messages, while at the same time they must analyze and update their forecasts and make air traffic decisions.
