I guess I have to register as a chat-hater and non-texter, but I just
don't see the efficiency of using chat when email and mail-lists work
better.
Chat requires you to sit there with full attention and wait for
responses, and encourages one to type hastily, which can lead to
misinterpretation. It's a complete time suck for me, your mileage may
vary.
I get all tense and impatient during chat, waiting for people to
type, and wishing I hadn't joined the chat. One can't really do
anything else during a chat session.
A whiteboard or video image during chat adds a lot of value to a chat
session. Otherwise, I don't see the point.
Hiya,
Any educator out there who would be interested in a weekly, biweekly
or monthly chat session over skype or AIM? This would be about
exchanging information on current projects, funding opportunities,
interesting articles or news, eventual organisation of the
development of a shared set of resources, etc.
