 abstract = {This article assesses the pedagogic value of the ‘chat’ facility                in the Blackboard integrated learning platform. It draws on a case study carried out                by the author in the 2001-2 academic session. A level three class in research                methods involved students in group working away from class and student feedback                indicated that more support was needed to coordinate this independent work, without                compromising its independent character. The ‘chat’ facility                seemed to hold out the possibility of enhancing conventional, class-based techniques                for generating informal discussion between students and, more particularly, for the                coordination of their activities between classes. The lecturer perceived the                integration of the facility into delivery of the unit as highly problematic,                however. The reasons for this are discussed and a number of explanations are                considered. Possible solutions are put forward.},
