Group Chat
There are several modes for group chat. It depends on how your teacher or admin has set it up for you and your classroom.
Some teachers prefer group chat to be used as a “Virtual Notice Board” where only they can post messages and attachments, whereas some prefer group chat to be used as a common forum where anybody can post.
Your teacher can instantly convert them into the other. Please talk to your teacher about how they prefer using the group chat.
The group chat allows you to connect and chat with your peers directly from the MySecondTeacher platform.
Currently, you cannot invite others who are not part of MySecondTeacher. This allows you to chat with relevant people in the same class or students learning the same course.
Yes, if your teacher has enabled the feature. Please talk to your teacher on their preference of using the group chat.
The group chat allows you to communicate in the primary channel and with your peers. Even though it acts like an instant messenger to communicate to your peers, it cannot be used explicitly as a messenger.
We have an “ignore feature” in our group chat.
You can add the user to an ignore list which will allow you to receive messages from the user but you can’t reply to the user.
