A lack of response probably indicates no one is familiar with using the external Star Chat the way you want to. I would suggest using the Dialogue plugin for Moodle as it will give you the date and time of each message sent or received. Set it up to use groups with one student per group will make it so the students can communicate only with teachers. There are also other advantages to using Dialogue, instead of a chat room.
