We have an “ignore feature” in our Chat Room.
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.
The Chat Room allows you to communicate in the primary channel as well as with your students. Even though it acts like an instant messenger to communicate, it cannot be used explicitly as a messenger.
Yes, you can talk to your Teacher if your Teacher has enabled the chat feature. Please talk to your Teacher on their preference of using the Chat Room.
Our Chat Rooms allows you to connect and chat with your peers directly from the platform.
Currently, you cannot invite others who are not part of Alston Digital. This allows you to chat with relevant people in the same class or Students learning the same course.
There are several modes for Chat Rooms feature. It depends on how your Teacher or admin has set it up for you and your classroom.
Some Teachers prefer Chat Rooms to be used as a “Virtual Notice Board” where only they can post messages and attachments, whereas some prefer Chat Rooms 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 Chat Rooms.
