Switch to slide no 2	Welcome to spoken tutorial. In the coming few minutes, we'll talk about how to start and manage chat on the moodle site.
Switch to slide no 3	You will need to create a chat room for you and your students and set a time when everyone will log in and meet. You can create one session for the entire course or set up repeating sessions for multiple meetings.
Switch to Terminal	Click the “Turn editing on” button. Select Chat from the activity menu in the course section where you would like to add the chat. In the resulting page, give the chat room a name and provide directions on how to use the room in “Introduction text.” Set the time for the first chat session in “Next chat time.” Select the general options for the chat room: <br>Repeat sessions- There are four options here: Don’t publish any chat times(Creates a chat room that is always open and has no specified meeting times), No repeats (Creates a one-time chat room that will meet only during the time specified), At the same time every day (Creates an entry in the course calendar for a daily chat at the time specified), At the same time every week (Creates a weekly entry in the course calendar). Save past sessions - When a chat is complete, the transcript will be available for the amount of time specified here. Everyone can view past sessions - This determines whether transcripts are available to students or just the teacher. Click on "Save changes". The chat would be available as a link on the course page. Click on the chat to start chatting with other participants. Even if you’ve set chat times, the chat is always open to students. Moodle does not restrict access to the chat based on the times you set when you created it. Instead, it creates entries in the course calendar that remind people to log in for the chat at certain times. If a student wants to wander into the chat at another time, he could talk to himself or anyone else who wanders by.
