real-time communication

Several students were frustrated by the delays in communication.

There is a 1 hour delay from the time you post to the discussion until it is emailed or available to others. This is a "feature" so you can change your post before anyone else sees it. However, it is a big problem for the Final Group project as the deadline approaches.
