The primary purpose of EVE University is to teach new (and old) players about the basics of life in EVE and various aspects of game play. To that end we hold regular classes, both theoretical and practical, in order to accomplish this goal.  This page contains information on how to attend our classes, or, if you are unable to attend a live class due to time zone differences, how to find recordings and transcripts of our previous classes.
 
 
 
'''Please note that most of our classes are public! You do ''not'' need to be a member of EVE University to join!'''
 
 
 
If you are interested in giving a class or lecture yourself, then you can find out about [[Joining_The_Faculty|Joining the Faculty]] as either a teacher or a guest lecturer.  Alternatively, if your skills lie primarily in the practical fleet command area, we have a [[Guest_Fleet_Commander_Program|Guest FC]] program.
 
 
 
== Class Library ==
 
=== Recorded Classes ===
 
You can find a large number of previously recorded classes at our [[EVE_University_Class_Library|Class Library]] page, available for download in MP3 format and listening to in your own time on your own MP3 player of choice.
 
 
 
=== Class Syllabi ===
 
If you prefer reading, rather than writing, you can find the transcripts - intended primarily for teachers, but useful for students too - for all our classes on the wiki, at the [[Syllabus_Library|Syllabus Library]].  You should bear in mind that different teachers construct classes in different ways, so some syllabus pages can be hard to follow.
 
 
 
=== Visual Aids ===
 
Many of our teachers create slideshows in PDF formats as highly useful teaching aids.  You can find all of these at the relevant wiki page of [[EVE_Reference_Sheets|EVE Reference Sheets]] ***currently NYI***.  Please note that these do not necessarily contain ''all'' of the information that you would otherwise find in the class recording or syllabus.
 
 
 
 
 
== Class Schedule ==
 
[[Image:Mailing list.png|right]]
 
===Calendar===
 
So you want to attend a real live class?  The first step is finding out when our classes take place.  You can find all this information on our [http://calendar.eveuniversity.org/ Calendar] page.  Note the links at the bottom of the page, which will allow you to import the information into your calendar application of choice, be it Outlook or iPad or whatever.
 
 
 
===In-game Mailing List===
 
We also have an in-game mailing list - please open in the EVE Mail application in-game, click the Add Mailing List in the bottom left hand corner of the EVE Mail window, and add the mailing list '''Classes.E-UNI''' (see image to right).  Messages are generally sent out once per week to advise of upcoming classes and events.
 
 
 
===EVE University forum===
 
All upcoming classes are posted on the Scheduled Classes section of the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=72 EVE University forum] - announcements of new classes, and any changes or cancellations, will be posted there.
 
 
 
== Class Channels ==
 
===Public Mumble===
 
The vast majority of our classes take place on our public Mumble channel. We have a comprehensive guide to [[Mumble]] for E-UNI members, but here's the cliff notes version:
 
 
 
* Download & install the latest version of Mumble from the [http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ developer's website].
 
* During the set-up wizard on first launch, make sure to set a push-to-talk key.  Do not use voice activation.
 
* Open your new Mumble, click Server -> Connect, click the Add New... button at the bottom.
 
* Add a connection that looks like the image below (note that the port number is ''not'' the default).
 
* Congratulations, you are now on our public Mumble server.
 
 
 
We have a number of classroom channels on the public Mumble server; most classes are held in the first one (Classroom 1).

=== In-game Channels ===
 
We maintain an in-game channel that is used, during classes, for students to ask questions and for the teacher to link in-game items or images, graphs, etc.  This channel is '''Lecture.E-UNI'''.
 
 
 
[[File:Channel icon.png|right]]You can join this channel by clicking the small speech bubble icon just above your chat window, and typing '''Lecture.E-UNI''' into the box that pops up.  Press Join, and you are now in the E-UNI public class channel.
 
 
 
We also have a public channel (simply called '''E-UNI''') for new players to ask questions about EVE and EVE University, feel free to join it for any help with the game you may require!
