Learning in the Lou

Chat is new to our Canvas course. It works well for a backchannel and during office hours. If you find it not super helpful, you can disable it. To reenable, just reverse these steps. Chat appears in the lower right corner of your course. Here is a sample of what the chat looks like. Note: I played the role of Aidan for this chat. To disable chat, open a course. 1. Click Settings in the lower-left white navigation. 2. Click Navigation at the top. 3. Click and drag Chat to the bottom. See the image for how far you need to drag it. Now you see chat in the lower box. Click Save . Now Chat is no longer in your course.
