Teaching is the main function of EVE University, which is why our faculty of Teachers and Guest Lecturers is our most important resource. Teaching at EVE University is a rewarding activity in many ways, not least because it gives you the opportunity to help educate the largest student body in EVE, shaping the careers of literally thousands of capsuleers as they begin their journey in New Eden.
We are always seeking new volunteers, who are willing to step up and teach what they have learned to a new generation of E-UNI pilots.
Becoming a Teacher
The majority of our teachers start off as students who have gained a reasonable knowledge of a certain aspect of EVE and are willing to pass that on to new members. You do not need to be an expert by any means, and often teachers will begin teaching one small area and later expand the classes they teach as their knowledge and confidence increase.
What is expected of a Teacher?
- Teachers are expected to conduct classes with reasonable consistency. We ask that as a minimum, they teach at least once every month.
- They are expected to comply with E-UNI standards of class delivery. This means that they follow the procedures set out in the Guide to Teaching Classes and How to Schedule a Class.
- They are expected to contribute towards the continued improvement and development of our classes including the Syllabus Library and recorded Class Library.
- They are expected to act appropriately as a member of the University staff and set a positive example to students.
What are the benefits of being a Teacher?
- The greatest and most important benefit of being a teacher is the knowledge that you are helping others to get the most out of their time in EVE University and increasing their enjoyment of EVE.
- EVE University always supports its teachers. If you have a class that requires resources (minerals, BPCs, modules, etc), funding can be arranged through the University's logistics department.
- Teachers can call on the knowledge and advice of the entire faculty and wider University staff, for example when developing a new class syllabus.
- Teachers receive an in-game time title, have access to the staff and education forums, as well as dedicated in-game chat channel and mailing list.
- Being an EVE University Teacher can often lead to other roles of responsibility within the University, and can have a positive effect on your wider EVE career.
