live chatting between learners #7

Closed gnunicorn closed 11 years ago

suggested by the learners: open a chatroom learners could join for the course and help each other and maybe even project that on the wall...

maybe some simple web-chat would be sufficient for that...

Should that be plucked as a feature into the HTML pages or should something like that go into a document targeted at coaches (which we should add this way or another)?

Hi there, I'm not sure exactly how OTS workshops might be run differently over yonder seas (Aussie here!), but I'd say that face-to-face help and discussion gets the job just as easily and makes for a lively and fun workshop. So a better alternative would be to encourage participants to chat to eachother and their coaches about all their problems at the start of the workshop.

Although it's not impossible to link to a web-irc client or something similar, I feel it might be a little out of scope for the tutorial proper.

Let me know if you think strongly otherwise, but I'll be closing this issue for now.
