It is very important for both the instructor and the visual aids ro be ac tive and engaging. You can tell in persons voice if they are interested or not in the discussion. In my live chat/breeze presentations I often find myself using my hands and mannerisms just like I did when I taught at a ground campus. Keeping the students interested and active in the chat topics helps limit side conversations that are not on topic. I also like to use the chat pods to let them talk amongst themselves on an issue and not have the chance to hear different opinions.

Good point, an active instructor is able to help control and shape discussions. - Jon
