During class we were all introduced into the world of IRC Chat. The exercise that we were given to complete was for you and a partner to edit each other’s profile pages on the Learning Open Source site, but with certain rules attached. In order to complete the assignment we had to only communicate using the IRC channel, talking back and forth in chat.
The whole process was very intriguing because the whole class was silent with chuckles filling the room every once in a while. Although this is wasnt my first time in an IRC Chat environment, it was my first time partaking in an IRC that contained class mates of mine during a class, and talking about the various subject matters going on, such as possible projects to work on.
Over the course of the semester i am sure that the IRC chat will become a very useful tool in communicating with others on the current project we will be working on, and also be a tool that we could use when we have questions, such that we can go on the IRC channel and ask the question we seek an answer to.
