Hello to all, This post stems from a reply to a fellow participant posting in regards to email versus instant messaging. What I am finding is that the use of email versus instant messaging varies with each institution. In particular, at my current setting, I extended the over to contact me via instant messaging; however my students preferred method of communications remains in the form of emails. What is your preference? What have you experienced in your classes and/or what trends have you noticed? Thank you, Zakevia
