[Moodle] Moodle 1.5 - Instant Messaging

[Philip Brown]

I think I agree with Rolan. However, consider that the messaging
interface is not as slick as MSN or a chat room It may prove a bit
cumbersome for students to use regularly. Then again I haven't used it
in a classroom situation so I don't really know. It's good that it can
be turned off if it goes out of control. Being clear about how it should
be used is a good way to start.

Hi all,
    I was wondering, with the impending release of Moodle version 1.5,
what others thought of the instant messaging feature that is in this
version. Are people going to turn it off, or use it? If you use it, are
there any specific things to do to make sure students don't abuse it?
 
Personally, I would prefer it if it was only available to staff, but I
dont think there is that option.
 
Any thoughts?
 
Thanks,
James
