Nicholas, Sure. The live chat can be of two formats, both mostly used in OL classes. The basic premise is the same in that students get an opportunity to dialog with their instructor in real time. One format has prepared questions by the instructor, who releases them over the course of say, an hour. After each question, students chime in via their OL delivery platform, and the instructor interacts with the students comments. The other, perhaps the preferred method, has the instructor with prepared questions, and students can hear their instructor speak and discuss the questions, with students chiming in and the instructor responding.
