==Changes to scheduled classes== | |||
Sometimes the unexpected happens, and you must change or cancel a class after it has been announced. That's ok! Real life comes first. | |||
Please use the following guidance for how to ensure your audience knows about the changes. Generally speaking - please do not delete posts or calendar events - this leaves the audience unaware and searching for what they thought they saw before! | |||
===Changing your forum announcement=== | |||
* Please do not delete the forum announcement - students may have already put the class on their own personal calendar. | |||
* If you are cancelling the class with no replacement time (or intend to reschedule later but do not have the rescheduled time right now :( | |||
** Edit the post title to say "[CANCELLED]" at the start of the title. | |||
** Edit the body of the post to make it clear the class is cancelled (some bold text at the top of the post helps!) | |||
** REPLY to your class post indicating that the class was cancelled - this is the important step that pushes the forum post back to the top and flags new content for the audience to see!! | |||
*** Please do not simply edit your post - editing a post does not push it to the top and flag it as new content for people that have previously read the post. | |||
* If you are cancelling the date and time originally announced - but rescheduling now - please do not create a new forum post for the rescheduled date and time | |||
** Edit the title of the post to reflect the new date and time. | |||
** Edit the body of the post to reflect the new date and time. | |||
** REPLY to your class post indicating the reschedule - noting the old date and time - this is the important step that pushes the forum post back to the top and flags new content for the audience to see!! | |||
*** Please do not simply edit your post - editing a post does not push it to the top and flag it as new content for people that have previously read the post. | |||
===Changing your calendar event=== | |||
* Please do not delete the calendar event - students may have already put the class on their own personal calendar. | |||
* If you are cancelling the class with no replacement time (or intend to reschedule later but do not have the rescheduled time right now ): | |||
** Edit the calendar event to replace the "[CLASS]" tag with "[CANCELLED]" | |||
* If you are cancelling the date and time originally announced - but rescheduling now: | |||
** Edit the ORIGINAL calendar event to replace the "[CLASS]" tag with "[RESCHEDULED]" | |||
** Create a new calendar event for the new class date and time, following the guidance in the Scheduling Your Class section above. | |||
===Pings: cancelling on short notice=== | |||
If your class is to be held in the next four hours, and you must cancel - first, don't feel terrible! Real life happens and that's ok. However, please: | |||
* Place a ping in the #ping-class Discord channel, to @everyone, noting that the class to be held has to be cancelled. | |||
* Feel free to reach out to @teachers in #teaching-general to ask if anyone wants to take over teaching that class session. | |||
** If someone does take the class over after the ping in the first bullet goes out - please be sure to ping again noting that the class is back on! | |||
