I am teaching an online course on "Internet Based Teaching" with
participants who live in many different time zones (Australia, Arab
Emirates, Canada, Finland, New Zealand and USA-NY to CA).  We are planning
online chats using a Java Chat program.  The big problem is scheduling times
and dates when every one can participate.  Do any of you have experience in
using Chat for online courses, in conjunction with Bulletin Boards.  What
types of issues are best suited for these two modes of conversation, any
ideas on the scheduling problem?  Has any one experimented with breaking up
the class into time zoned chat groups.  I would appreciate any advice or
guidance on these. Thanks
