Using Moodle: Teaching with the Popular Open Source Course Management System

4.4. Summary

Moodle provides three channels of communication for you and your students. Forums provide an asynchronous, public method for sharing ideas. The chats are a great way to have simultaneous conversations online with a group of people. Dialogues provide a private channel for you to communicate directly with your students. Communication is a key to success for any class, and it's even more important in an online environment.
