Communicating Online

1. Here we see the buddy list

   

2. You have 3 main options, Buddies Tools and Help. Below we see the Buddies and Tools menus.

   Select Add Buddy and add your friends, its very much like the section called Messenger Account setup.

   

3. Your friend will be listed on the Buddy List, double left click on them and a chat window will open.

   

4. You can click on the little smiley face and add emoticons to your messages.

   

5. In tools > preferences > plugins > transparency. You can set the transparency, its a helpful feature for multi-tasking. The screenshot shows the chat window on top of the buddy list while reading the Wikipedia page on transparency.

   

Online communication skills are essential for E-Learning.
