UITS no longer supports original Oncourse. Oncourse CL is Indiana University's current online course environment.

To enter a chat room and post a message in Oncourse, follow the steps below:

1. Log into Oncourse and select the appropriate course.
   
   
2. Click In Touch.
   
   
3. Scroll down to the "Chat Room" heading. Enter a chat room by clicking its name.
   
   
4. In the "Message" field, enter your message.
   
   
5. To send a public message, click the Send button or press Enter.

   To send a private message, make sure the "Users" list is displayed in the frame on the right. (If it's not, at the bottom of the window, click the Users link. A list of users who are logged into the chat room should appear in the right-hand frame.) Click the name of a user on the list to automatically send your message to that user.
