The Ubuntu Classroom is part of the Ubuntu Community Learning Project.

The idea of The Classroom is to host regular tutorial sessions on the freenode IRC server in the #ubuntu-classroom channel. The tutorials cover information for Ubuntu, Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Mythbuntu, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu users, primarily on ways in which the user can contribute back to the Ubuntu project. The Classroom attempts to have sessions for all levels of expertise, from beginner to advanced. These sessions are instructed by members and teams within Ubuntu community and last about one hour.

Why Ubuntu Classroom? Several teams within Ubuntu offer IRC sessions. Classroom seeks to be a centralized location for these sessions to be held and resources documented. Ubuntu Classroom currently hosts classes for the following:
