The Chat, Q&A, and Notes features help foster an active learning and collaborative environment.
Chat
On Engageli, you can message individual learners, the instructor or co-instructor, table mates, or the entire class. The intended recipients selected are the only ones who can see it.
The "Attach files" button is a great way to upload slides or other class materials.
- Make sure that “@Everone” is in the dropdown box.
- Click the Upload File button at the bottom of the chat window.
- Navigate to the file I want to give learners and click on it from your computer.
- Click Open - The file appears in the chat window with a Download button learners use to download the file to their systems.
The Download button is used to download chat at any point during the class.
Note: Chats are deleted for individuals as soon as you log out of the classroom or the class has ended. Make sure to download the notes before you leave class.

Engagement Tip! Q&A threads always persist between class sessions and all users can see this. This can be helpful to learners when reviewing back material for a quiz or exam, or while doing homework. Q&A forums are a great way to see if other learners have asked the same questions.
Notes
Learners have the ability to take notes directly in Engageli during class. Notes are downloadable for future reference by learners. Notes persist, so learners will see them each time they log into an Engageli classroom. Notes are also private and downloadable for future reference by learners.
