Lab sessions

Homework may be taken on in your own time, but many students will want to work together.

We hold optional lab sessions at the same time of day as our class sessions, on Thursdays (Americas) or Fridays (Australia/Asia). These sessions will be informal, but course instructors Pete and Sara will be online (at minimum) for an hour. We invite students to continue working together following the scheduled lab session.

Our main platforms for the lab session (and for course communication in general) are:

• Our main tool is Blackboard Collaborate, same as our class sessions: j.mp/wikiSOOconf
• Wikipedia, especially our class talk page: WT:WIKISOO and the Communicate OER talk page: WT:COMMOER
• Our ether pad for note-taking and URLs: http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/WIKISOO

Please feel free to use other communication channels as well! For instance:

• Twitter, using the hashtag #wikiSOO
• Freenode IRC, in the #oer channel
• Skype
• Google Hangout
• Jitsi
