The chat tool
From ClarolineDoc
It's a tool for online chating. Simple user can just write lines. Chat manager can reset and store the chat.
This tool is available since Claroline 1.6 in groups and course contexts.
The chat tool is used to synchronize work, to have a little distant chat. For longer threads, the forum is more usefull.

Add New Message
The user can enter his message at the bottom of the tool. On submission, his line will appear to the current chat.
Save the current chat
Only for the course manager. Save the complete chat in a textfile. This textfile would be copied in a hidden directory of the document tool.
From Claroline 1.5 to Claroline 1.8, a course only has one general chatroom and one chatroom per group. So the name is automatically formed from this state and the date of save.
Wash/flush the chat
Only for the course manager.
In the documents list (where the chat is saved), click on 
in front of the chat you wish to delete. The discussion is completly deleted and the chatroom is emptied.
