Template:Chats==How can I enable guests to participate in a chat activity?==
Create a visitor role with the capability mod/chat:chat allowed, then create an account and assign it the role of visitor. Guests can then share this visitor account.
(The guest role has some special functionality, for example when a guest attempts to participate in a chat, they obtain the message "The chat is not open to guests. Would you like to log in now with a full user account?". Despite the permissions interface suggesting otherwise, it's not possible to modify the guest role to allow guests to participate in chat activities.)
How can I use audio chat?
Moodle itself does not yet include an audio chat solution, due to the large server requirements to implement a standalone solution.
However, there is a choice of third party modules that you can install into your Moodle to achieve this:
- OpenMeetings - FREE full audio/video conferencing http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/
- Dimdim - FREE full audio/video conferencing http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=932
- Elluminate Live - full audio/video conferencing http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=557
- Wimba - full audio/video conferencing http://www.wimba.com/products/moodle_integration/
