What is BCChat?

BCChat (Brian Chad Chat) is a chat application designed for students as a way to share ideas and information with each other. In addition to the sending and receiving of text messages, BCChat also implements a drawing board which can be shared among its users. With the use of both graphics and text, students are able to communicate and interact more efficiently with one another in group discussions.
