Introduction


Chatrooms can be an interesting way to do group assignments, and Webboard allows you to create chatrooms for each of your conferences.  However, chatrooms can be quite chaotic, so it is recommended that no more than 5 or 6 people use a chatroom at one time.  Setting up a chatroom is explained in Part One, Lesson 2: How do I create a conference?
