Chat real-time with your classmates, right inside your Piazza and Blackboard course pages. Every class page has a corresponding chat room in which anyone can chat, or if you wish you can start a private conversation with another user.

You may change your nick either by typing "/nick <new_nick>" or by clicking your current one, directly to the left of the text input box.
