Dialogue module for Moodle (http://moodle.org/)
The Dialogue module allows for private conversation between two or more parties.
They can be useful when the teacher wants a place to give private feedback to a student on their online activity. For example, if a student is participating in a language forum and made a grammatical error that the teacher wants to point out without embarrassing the student, a dialogue is the perfect place.
