An integral component of eTV’s classroom live streaming is the chat feature. After extensive research, eTV customized a new chat system with updated features and a contemporary interface. This system is designed to increase participation and improve communication between students, on-site instructors, rural facilitators, and eTV staff. The new eTV Chat was launched at the start of the fall term for Nursing and Paramedicine students.
