Project rooms

Project rooms are excellent for communication activities involving students, online guests or educational networks. A project room is a virtual space that holds multiple forums, chats and blogs. All Education Queensland and Affiliate staff with a Learning Place username can create their own project room/s.

Students cannot create project rooms however they can participate in project rooms that are set up by their teacher. Student logins can be generated by the teacher and are associated only with that project room. When a project room is deleted so are the associated student logins.

The person who creates a project room becomes the moderator and is responsible for the postings in their forum, chat and blog areas. Moderators can delete postings and control who is invited to participate in the project.

Users with a student or generic logon cannot access the chat room unless the moderator is present. If the moderator makes their project room open, then all Learning Place members can participate. Project rooms can be password protected.

Project Admin choices:

• Change room details including title, description, start and end date
• Change room password (leave blank if anyone can participate)
• Change activities - add new forums or change the chat topic
• Add new users - these logons will have student status
• Add existing users - choose names from the Learning Place database
• Manage project users - add users or change their status, eg. give moderator status to another teacher
• List room users for printing - get a copy of your student logons
• Delete project

If you create a project yet no longer require the space, please delete your project as it is shown on the Learning Place until the end date.
