LiveChat IE

LiveChat IE (Improved Edition) is the greatly improved, second edition of the original LiveChat chat client for Khan Academy users. LiveChat is geared towards collaborations and general chatters alike, being a versatile program built on the existing discussion method.

LiveChat was designed to fix issues many people have with the typical posting method on Khan Academy. The comment system Khan Academy uses gives a notification if a new post is received, and the page must be reloaded to view it. In contrast, LiveChat IE gives notifications only to the server owner, and new posts are displayed as they are posted without reloading necessary.

In addition to this, LiveChat has many extra features such as exact post date, image display, list of users in the chat, and more. A new chat can be set up in minutes, and joining an existing chat just takes moments. It’s an intuitive system designed around you, with help provided just in case you get stuck.

With the combined security of the Khan Academy Discussion Guidelines and a strict built-in blacklist, you can chat in peace knowing that you won’t see anything jarring or inappropriate. Approved by the Khan Academy Guardians, LiveChat is as harmless as an ordinary post.

LiveChat IE is the better way to chat on Khan Academy. Thanks for taking a look, be sure to visit the LiveChat IE Wiki for documentation, update logs and info on how you can get involved.
