- Instant Messaging Technologien in Learning Management Systemen
Author: Schnider, Guido

In the past few years, Instant Messaging has become popular in private as well as in economic environments. This work discusses
the possibilities of applying Instant Messaging in a webbased learning environment and its didactic benefits and implements
Instant Messaging tools into the learning environment of the University of Zurich. Current research in the fields of didactics
and awareness are fundamental for this discussion. Instant Messaging tools try to connect learning individuals that are spatially
separated. The tools should also enable spontaneous communication between learners as well as support the creation of learning
groups. The results of this theoretical analysis serve as basis for the implementation of selected Instant Messaging elements
into the web-based learning environment at the University of Zurich. The implementation is based on the Jabber Internet standard.
