| − | ===Beforehand ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Ensure that you have the Teaching role on Discord to allow you to stream slides on Discord'''. This is arranged via Alliance Auth and will need you to contact a Teaching Officer at least 24-48hrs ahead of your class.
| |
| − | * Prepare your hardware (microphone etc.)
| |
| − | * Prepare your software ([[Discord]], [[Mumble]] etc.)
| |
| − | * Prepare your lesson content:
| |
| − | ** Prepare the slide deck and speaker notes if desired.
| |
| − | ** Prepare an agenda to be followed, even if you're not using slides to stay on track.
| |
| − | * If your class includes a practical, check what you need:
| |
| − | ** Prepare the ships/materials needed, or check they have been delivered as expected.
| |
| − | ** Prepare the environment. For instance, many practicals benefit from having established bookmarks to streamline activities.
| |
| − | * Prepare yourself: have water on hand, and double check that any notes you need are present.

| − | * Be early and start on time
| |
| − | * Follow a clear structured agenda; don't jump all over the topic
| |
| − | * Take your time (and drink of water). People tend to talk faster when they are excited/nervous, so slow yourself down and breathe.
| |
| − | * Leave room for questions after "chapters" of your class and at the end.
| |
| − | * Be assertive. Do not shy away from banking certain questions for later or referring to additional classes/materials so you can stick to your lesson plan. Make frequent references to the EVE University Wiki as needed and drop links in the [[Discord]] classroom channel text chats. For guest lecturers, a Teaching Officer can assist you in this.
| |
| − | * Do not be afraid to ''not'' know something. Get back to students on questions that you don’t know or see if someone else in the class knows the right answer.
| |
| − | *In the event of a mumble issue during a scheduled class session, the '#class' backup voice channel has both voice and streaming permissions for those with the teacher role. This will allow you to conduct your class entirely from that channel when mumble is down.

| − | To present your slides (or in-game view) we use the [[Discord|EVE University Discord]] channel #classroom-alpha or #classroom-bravo. This requires either one of the Discord roles “Teacher” or "Guest Lecturer (OOC)". A member of the Teaching Staff can assist with these permissions.

| − | Reflect: what went great? What will you improve upon next time? Does the material need tweaks or edits?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remember to go back to the original forum advert post, and change the [CLASS] tag to [COMPLETED].

| − | Now that you have made it to this point, well done, and '''thank you for your service'''!
