The teaching department is responsible for providing educational content for EVE University.  We provide live classes, and a library of recorded classes on a every aspect of EVE.  We also maintain a library of syllabi for our teachers, and maintain various players guides on our wiki, available to the entire EVE Online community.  The majority of our staff are dedicated members of EVE Univeristy, however we do have several guest lecturers who volunteer their time and skills to ensure that the wider EVE online community can continue to grow and thrive.


The '''Teaching Department''' is responsible for providing educational content for EVE University members and the EVE Online public at large.  We are always looking for knowledgeable players to help us in this venture. We provide live classes, practical exercises, and [http://www.youtube.com/@realeveuniversity educational video recordings] on most aspects of EVE.  We also maintain an [[EVE University Class Library]] of slide packs for our teachers and guest lecturers to use, all available to everyone in the EVE Online community. The department is part of the [[Education Directorate]].


The Teaching Department schedules an average of 30 classes a month across all time-zones, reaching about 500–600 students per month. Most classes are open to the public; we are here to teach anyone who wants to learn, not just EVE-Uni members. We have regular guest lecturers supporting the Teaching Department, as well as many special classes and lectures given by well-known "personalities" from all parts of the game.

Our wiki is the standard general reference tool for the EVE community and has a large [[How_Tos_and_Guides|collection of 'how-to' guides]] on many subjects.
Most classes are open to the public, on our [[Mumble#PUBLIC_Mumble_Quick_Connect_Guide|public mumble]] server.

We also have a [[Recommended_Curriculum|Recommended Curriculum]] page, where you can find some of the more common classes that should be of interest to many new players.
Due to staff turnover and game changes, we are always looking for experienced players to teach classes and share their knowledge.


Our wiki is well-known source of information for the EVE community, and has a large [[How_Tos_and_Guides|collection of guides]] on many subjects. These guides have been created and updated over the years by a wide-range of players throughout the community.
Members of EVE University can teach classes, and non-members can contribute as guest lecturers: we know that the wider player community has a wealth of experience that our students are interested in, but which Uni staff do not always know in detail.

* Development of new classes - either with our SMEs or as SMEs themselves to ensure that new and evolving content is being taught.
* Engaging with external agencies and arranging Guest Lecturers to teach - they who bring different perspectives and experiences to our students which is always appreciated.
* Ensuring that key classes are taught regularly - it is important that our classes are taught across time zones so that as many of our students as possible get access to them.
* Provision of administrative support to the department - it's important that our records are maintained so that our teachers are supported and recognized for their amazing efforts.
