Each class will automatically have a link to a class Discussion Forum and to an Online Chat area. Organizing class discussions with specific public and private fora helps streamline class conversations. The Online Chat area is a feature included on all WebCT courses. Using this feature in your class is optional. Five chat rooms are automatically set up.
Some faculty ask students to conduct real-time small group work using the chat rooms.
In this case, students often self organize and determine times they will meet in the chat room. 5A. Assignment Submission Students can submit assignments to the WebCT server in a variety of ways and they can use a variety of software to create the documents.

Methods of Electronic Assignment Submission Email Attachment - Students can create a document on their home computer and send faculty a private email with the attached document. Disadvantages - Faculty should ensure that they can read student files by requiring that certain software be used to create the document.
