   2
   3 <p>This module provides a simple communication method between pairs of users.
   4     A teacher can open an dialogue with a student, a student can open
   5     a dialogue with a teacher, and (optionally) a student can open a
   6     dialogue with another student. A teacher or student can be involved
   7     in many on-going dialogues at any time.</p>
   8
   9 <p>A dialogue can have an unlimited number of entries, normally the
  10     &quot;conversation&quot; takes place as a set of interleaved
  11     replies. This format is not enforced and either party can add to the
  12     dialogue at any time.</p>
  13
  14 <p>A dialogue can be closed by either party at any time. Closed dialogues
  15     cannot be reopened. However, a closed
  16     dialogue can be viewed by either party provided it is still in existence... </p>
  17
  18 <p>...The module deletes closed dialogues and all their entries after a
  19     certain time. That time is set here when the Dialogue is created.</p>

  21 <p>If the course has groups the following points apply.
  22 <ul><li>When opening a new dialogue the teacher is shown the group mode of the
  23     dialogue and their current group. This information is displayed immediately
  24     below the Tab Bar.</li>
  25 <li>A teacher can start dialogues with all the students in their current group
  26     by choosing the group name in the drop-down list of names. Once started
  27     the dialogues operate in the normal way, that is, they are one-to-one
  28     dialogues between the teacher and individual students.</li>
  29 <li>If the dialogue is in SEPARATE GROUPS mode then students only see other
  30     students in their own group (assuming the dialogue allows student-to-student
  31     dialogues). In this mode students who are not in any group do not see any
  32     other students.</li>
  33 </ul>
