Two Types of Chats
- General (or Course) chats are public chats visible and open to everyone enrolled in your course. General chats are course-specific; if you create a chat in a specific course then that chat can only be accessed in that course.
- Personal chats are private and visible only to users that you have added to the chat’s participant list. Instructors can create personal chats from any course, and these chats can be accessed from all other courses.
