Why use chat?

	==Why use chat?==		==Why use chat?==
			*Chat has an advantage over a [[Forum]] in that it takes place in Real Time. It is especially beneficial when the group chatting is not able to meet face to face. Examples might be:
			**Regular meetings of staff on large or split campuses to discuss student or curriculum issues;
			**Regular meetings of students doing online courses to enable them to share experiences with others on the same course but potentially in a different city (or country)
			**A teacher working with his students even though he is out of school
			**A student temporarily unable to attend in person chatting with their tutor to catch up with work.
			**Students out on work experience getting together to discuss their experiences with each other and their tutor
			**Younger children using chat at home in the evenings as a controlled(monitored) introduction to the world of social networking

			==Why NOT use chat?==
			*Unless a tutor/moderator is permanently present in the chatroom -or unless the chat is hidden and revealed at certain times, it is difficult to control what is said once a chat has started.
			*Younger students particularly may find it difficult to stay on task and be prone to adding non-useful comments or "beeping" others for the sake of it.
			*In some situations, a forum might be preferred as it allows for reflection before posting and gives a period of time where the post might be edited.
