Instructor Requirements

To make sure attendees get the best possible experience from User Days, we are required to confirm that all instructors meet high standards we wish to have for the event.

  • If you're new to the Classroom Project
    • What is your expertise within Ubuntu (a link to your wiki page is fine) and how does it relate to the class you wish to teach?

    • What experience, if any, do you have teaching Ubuntu (or other related software)? This may include presentations at LoCo teams, LUGs and conferences, other IRC-based events, etc.

    • Are there any folks within the community who can vouch your experience? Who?
  • If you've been involved with the Classroom Project
    • What have you taught in the past?

Please send these answers via the form at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-user-days/+contactuser or drop by #ubuntu-classroom-backstage to talk with us
