Classroom etiquette

The purpose of the classroom is to provide instruction on a specific topic. As such, it is beneficial for classroom sessions to adhere to a certain standard. Please try to adhere to the following during sessions:

• Keep in mind that classroom sessions may be logged
• Adhere to teacher instructions regarding questions and input
• Avoid unnecessary actions, nick changes and away messages
• Avoid off-topic conversation

The point is to help maintain a classroom environment that promotes learning while avoiding extraneous content.

Teaching a class

If you would like to teach a class on any Fedora related topic, please mail an introduction of yourself and outline of your proposed class to the classroom mailing list. Some things to keep in mind:

• We recommend sessions be approximately 90 minutes This allows for an hour long session and enough time for questions and answers.
• Make sure you know your subject and know where to point students who wish more detailed information.
• Note at the beginning of your class if you would like students to ask questions as you go, or would prefer them to wait until the end.
• Remember that typing is slower than talking in front of a class or speaking on a phone call, so keep in mind you will not cover as much on IRC.
• All teacher notes and class resources should be licensed as "CC 4.0 unported international license"

(Note: Check out The World Clock Meeting Planner for time zone syncing.)

Request a class

If there is something you'd like to see during Fedora-Classroom sessions get in touch with the wranglers and we'll try to make it happen. If you can request someone to teach the session, that'll be even better!
