Subject: [Moodle] What the kids chat about

Call me slow, but I have finally found out the easy way to see what students
are saying when using the Chat client in Moodle. Prior to this I was
interrogating the SQL database and rummaging through the comments matching
them back to user names by cross referencing the tables. Now, I have just
realised that you can click the user, select logs (all logs) then click on
any entry where they have written to another student to see the entire
conversation between the parties involved. Given that misuse seems to be
traceable to a few students (you know which ones...) it is easy to take
action on the abusers.

If you have any other admin tips, I'd love to hear them.
