~~To hold classes, we most commonly use:~~

* '''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 software ([[Discord]], EVE game client, etc.)

* Prepare your lesson content:

** Prepare the slide deck and speaker notes if desired.

Line 211:

* Be assertive. Do not shy away from letting the class know certain questions will be addressed after the lecture, 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.

Line 234:

Be sure to open the chat for the class by clicking the "Show Chat" button in the upper right corner of the classroom channel! This is where students will ask questions during the class, where you can drop links for further information, and more!

Special note: those with the "Teacher" role in Discord, have the ability to set the "Use Voice Activity" feature in Discord - which will allow teaching the class without holding down a push to talk key. If you choose to enable this feature, please remember to turn it back off in your Discord settings before using other EVE University Discord voice channels, or attending another teacher's class!
