Hi Lisa, 

I think that the Etherpad plugin may be what you are looking for:

See this discussion also:

 A good place to get more feedback would be the teaching strategies forum here:

Hope this helps

I agree also with Stuart and Darcy that an svg/font icon solution would be best. Font-Awesome looks good.

Mary,

Thanks for theIE7 JS link, minor typo in creating the link. Should be:

Hi Mary (and Don),

Just a clarification. I believe that Moodle 2.3 does support IE8:

http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_2.3_release_notes

Minimum browser: Firefox 4, Internet Explorer 8, Safari 5, Google Chrome 11, Opera 9

Hi Miguel,

Just to be clear, this was an issue for me in Moodle 1.9. Our site has now moved to Moodle 2 and a theme which I based on the Aardvark theme. So if you were using Moodle 2 and Aardvark the hack below is not needed. I have pasted in notes I made at the time though in case you are using 1.9 and if so they may help.

To change the text: “You are logged in as” you need to edit the language files and the weblib.php

Language files:
Admin ->Language ->Language Editing ->Moodle.php

If you try to remove the text: ‘”you are not logged in” from the language file ie. leave a blank string then Moodle will detect this and prevent you from doing so, with a blank string error message.

To remove the text you have to remove the call to write this text out from within weblib.php

Weblib.php
Location is: /web/lib/weblib.php within your Moodle directory structure.

...as described in the above posts.

Hope this helps.
