Limiting Chat to Course Participants

Limiting Chat to Course Participants

Currently my school has the chat module disabled because it caused too many problems, we would like to open up the chat module again but give the students limited access to whom they can chat with. We would like to limit the students within a class to only chatting with the students and teachers in that course. I have been looking into this on and off for a while and have not found much information, can anyone shed some light on this.

Do you mean chat? Or messaging? Because with chat, if your chat is set up within a course then only the members of that course should be able to access it anyway -  unless you have open self enrolment to all of your courses or else users have been automatically enrolled in all the courses.
