• ace — i got the bow hidden aspect in hades and its really fun // continued panic over school starting // tell me my old email address and why it was deactivated + my ao3 username

Streaming Logistics

Questions to answer!

• How should streaming work logistically?
  1. Myles streams all lessons. If he's not teaching, use Figma multiplayer and share Zoom audio. [This means Myles has to attend every lecture.]
  2. Myles and Ace stream on lessons we aren't teaching, same format as above.
  3. Instructors stream their own lessons.
• Should we have class fully on Twitch?
  • Pros: less computer strain, consolidated platform, only one place to moderate
    • people are already used to zoom + twitch is like an outside layer
    • zoom is classroom, twitch is Outer Classroom
    • depends on how many people are auditing too — may feel like a waste if there's like 2 auditors we couldn't accept :'))
  • Cons: requires twitch acc (?), might risk people invading stream, feels less direct/personal than Zoom, unruly chat (?)
  • Let's stick with having both Zoom (closed classroom) and Twitch (public space)
• How many TAs should be present per lecture? How many of us?
  • 2 TAs to help moderate chat? 3?
    • 2 or 3 sounds good. 1 should be the TA who wrote the lesson (moderate Zoom chat + Qs), then an addtl 1-2. to help (Twitch chat, addtl Qs)
    • Set schedule before the semester starts
  • Originally said that only the instructor teaching that day needs to attend, but should all of us? (Time conflicts?)
    • Ace and Myles will likely come to all lectures, Phi TBA based on other class
• Should we incorporate live CC? Should we clean up CCs after lectures so they're .. coherent?
  • Zoom auto CC, Ace fix up transcripts after maybe

Auditor Logistics

• Our Slack is intended to be students-only. How can we help students who are auditing?
  • Slack — make it open to anybody, but turn student-only channels private. Only issue is that we won't have user groups or channel grouping bc of free plan.
  • Discord — could either be in conjunction to the Slack or move fully to Discord. More open, but kind of further reinforces the Gamerness. Not a ubiquitous platform.
  • Piazza — may have a tech implication but also might not? Something that many people are familiar with.
