If you wish to send a message to an individual instead of the entire group, simply select the specific user from the Send to box. Selecting an individual enters whisper mode and any messages that are whispered will be italicized. All chat messages will appear in the large box on the window and they will be prefixed by the name of the sender. Sorry, no anonymous messaging. Chat messages are displayed in the window as they appear.
Scroll bars appear when the number of messages exceeds the display area.
Use the up and down scroll buttons to see the entire list of messages. To save the chat session as a text file for later processing or re-use, select Save As from the File menu and type in the name for the file in the File name box. Select a different folder, if desired, in the Save in drop down and click Save . Upon completion of the chat session, you can send via e-mail a copy of the transcript to all meeting participants. As you are conducting your class discussion in your online meeting, you probably will have the need to draw or write something on a board as would be done in a traditional classroom.
