Once you have found your Study Buddy, using MoocLab's "Conversation" tool is a great way for you to connect and interact with your study partner(s) in a private and secure way. A "Conversation" on MoocLab is a private discussion viewable to only those invited to join the conversation. You can invite people at any stage in the conversation. If there is a response to a conversation or you have been invited into one then you will get an alert in your inbox at the top right of the page.
