Dialogue module

Dialogues are course activities that can be useful when the teacher wants a place to give private feedback to a student on their online activity. For example, if a student is participating in a language forum and made a grammatical error that the teacher wants to point out without embarassing the student, a dialogue is the perfect place.

Tip: When students initially enroll on a site, it might be a good idea to send them a welcome dialogue to let them know the teacher is there. This way if the student has something to say to the teacher, they will feel more comfortable responding, since the teacher made the first step.

Dialogue is a contributed activity module in Moodle 1.6.x.
