Chat mentions and formatting
Interactions with peers and instructors can lead to greater student success. It's important for students to be able to engage socially and collaboratively. With this in mind, we are excited to introduce two new features added to Collaborate's chat.
- Chat mentions
- Message formatting
Chat mentions
Now attendees can tag someone in Chat when they mention them. Anyone tagged is notified so they don't miss it. Type the at (@) symbol and start typing who in the session you want to tag. Select the name when it appears in the list. Moderators are identified with a MOD label so they are easy to find.
Attendees can turn off chat mention notifications in their personal notification settings.
Message formatting
We've updated the Rich Text Editor (RTE) in the Chat panel. Now attendees can format their messages to really get their point across.
