Classrooms and Chat Rooms

Find your classrooms and talk with your instructor and your group in the chat room — step by step.

A classroom is your shared space with an instructor and a group of learners. Each classroom can have its own chat room. This guide shows you where to find them and how to write.

Everything below is for the web app on a computer. Your organization adds you to classrooms: you cannot join one yourself.

Step 1 — Open Classrooms & Chat

Click My Content, then the Classrooms & Chat tab (address /student-my-content/classrooms). Two buttons at the top of the page switch between the views:

• Chat — your chat rooms (the view that opens first);
• Classrooms — your classrooms.

Step 2 — Chat in a chat room

The Chat view: your chat rooms on the left, the conversation on the right.

1. Pick a chat room

   The list on the left shows your chat rooms and their latest message. The Search… box filters them by name.

2. Write your message

   Type in Write a message…, then press Enter to send it. Shift + Enter starts a new line without sending.

3. Attach an image (optional)

   Click the paperclip. Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBP, up to 20 MB per image, 4 images per message.

The instructor and every learner of the classroom read the conversation: do not share anything personal there.

Step 3 — Open a classroom

Click Classrooms. Each card shows the classroom’s name, its instructor and its number of members. The Search… box filters the cards.

The Classrooms view: one card per classroom you belong to.

Click a card to open the classroom:

A classroom: its content on the left, its members on the right.

Item	What it holds
Content	The page your instructor writes for the group: the meeting link (Join Google Meet in the example above), the plan of the week, documents (PDFs, files), resources.
Chat room	The classroom’s chat room, the same as in the Chat view.
Members panel	The instructor and the learners of the group. Search members finds someone; the button at the top right hides or shows the panel.

If you do not belong to any classroom yet, the view shows No classrooms yet.

Good to know

How do I know someone wrote to me?
