Synopsis

Technology has invaded the classroom. As instructors attempt to transform their traditional teaching methods to meet the demands of the new digital age, universities across the nation are pushing to move more classes online. To meet the demands of the students for a new "media rich" learning environment, educators must explore new technologies that will increase student collaboration and engagement. This guide will look at instant messaging and how it can be used in the online learning environment and specifically how the new version of iChat has opened new avenues of exploration. This is not a book filled with theory - full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. This is a book on what button to push, which settings to use, and when to use it within the iChat application.
