How to Use Course Chat
The Chat function in Pipeline allows students in the same course to get together online and type messages back and forth in real time. All students must be logged in to the Chat tool at the same time for this to work. To use any of the Course Tools, you must choose the My Courses tab in your Pipeline account and then click on the link to the course you wish to work in. Each course has its own set of Course Tools.
