The teaching department is responsible for providing educational content for EVE University and throughout New Eden.  We provide live classes, practical exercise and a library of recorded classes on every aspect of EVE.  We also maintain a library of syllabi and slide packs for our teachers and guest lecturers, and we maintain various players guides on our wiki - all of which is available to the entire EVE Online community.  The majority of our staff are dedicated members of EVE University, however we do have several amazing 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]].


=Current Staff=
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.

Most of our classes are open to the public, with live discussion and live screen sharing on the publicly-accessible classroom channels on our [[Discord]]. This means that '''anyone can attend most of our classes''', regardless of whether or not they are a member of EVE University.

=Teaching Department 101=
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.


EVE University is proud of the professionalism and enthusiasm of our teachers and we have the tools and the experience necessary to ensure our efforts to educate and develop New Eden reach the widest audience possible.
If you are new to teaching or you have never taught for EVE University before, please contact a member of the teaching department staff before scheduling your class. We will be keen to help!

* Support and development of new and existing teachers - teachers are the Uni's lifeblood, and supporting them is the Teaching Department's privilege.
* The maintenance and upkeep of teaching resources - with around 60 class slide decks available, TOs work with Subject Matter Experts on the interminable task of ensuring our resources remain up-to-date.
* 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.
* Development of new processes and systems - we're always looking to improve the smooth running of the department and to reduce administrative overheads without impacting the quality of our output.
* The continuous improvement of teaching within EVE University - we always want to find new ways to do things better and to be better.
