== Introduction ==
'''''The Classroom''''' is a project managed by RyanKavanagh, MarekSpruell, RichardJohnson, and [wiki:Pleia2 ElizabethBevilacqua] and collaborates with the [http://www.ubuntu-women.org Ubuntu Women Project]. The idea of '''''The Classroom''''' is to host a biweekly tutorial session on the Freenode IRC server in the #ubuntu-classroom channel. The tutorials will cover information for Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu users. '''''The Classroom''''' will attempt to have sessions for all levels of expertise, from beginner to advanced. These sessions are hosted on the first and third weekend of each month, starting at listed times. The first session was August 5th, 2006. These sessions will be instructed by members of the Ubuntu community and have no set time limit, but should last about an hour.[[BR]][[BR]]

Line 17: Line 13:
In addition to our regular classes, '''''The Classroom''''' now also hosts UbuntuOpenWeek and regular Q&A sessions for projects within Ubuntu. Ubuntu Classroom is part of the [[Learning|Ubuntu Community Learning Project]].

IRC Channel

The Ubuntu community is currently utilizing the Freenode servers for IRC. If you are going to join a session, the channel to use is #ubuntu-classroom. If it is your first time using IRC, we ask that you simply review the IRC Guidelines. You may also be interested in this list of IRC HOWTO Pages. To connect to the IRC server, use the following information:

  • Server: irc.ubuntu.com

  • Port: 8001

Once connected to the server type /j #ubuntu-classroom to join the classroom channel. #ubuntu-classroom isn't the main support channels, so you can't expect to join it searching for answers, as most of the time it is a ghost towns. We recommend you continue using #ubuntu, #kubuntu, #edubuntu,or #xubuntu.

Information

The classes will start promptly at the designated times. The classroom will be open briefly in order to provide the members and students the opportunity for brief introductions and instructions. Once the class begins, the channel may become moderated (+m), meaning only instructors and administrators will have speaking privileges. This will insure there are no interruptions, making the class enjoyable for everyone attending. If you have a question, there will be a moderator that will take your questions via a message. You can message the moderator by typing /msg nickname question. Further instructions will be given at the beginning of each class.

See the Ubuntu Classroom Guidelines for more details.

  • Instruction: Develop courses from own resources
  • Instruction: Focus on LTS releases for course longevity
  • Instruction: Make use of Ubuntu-Training materials
  • Course Organization: Recruit Instructors
  • Course Organization: Recruit Teams for regular sessions
  • Course Organization: Schedule classes
  • Course Organization: Send reminders to Instructors
  • Course Organization/Marketing: Maintain wiki page
  • Marketing: Keep blogs, UWN & Fridge informed
