Setup

Before joining the training, participants should be able to:

• Access the 2i2c Community Showcase Hub using their GitHub account (or use their own community hub)

• Know basic Git, such as pushing and pulling to a remote GitHub repository

• Find the shared collaborative note-taking document, e.g. CodiMD

• Access the Slack Channel for asynchronous support

• Use a web browser and video conferencing, e.g. Zoom

• Read the 2i2c Code of Conduct.

If you have trouble with any of these steps, please contact the training instructor.

Communication channels

We will primarily use Slack for communications with learners to encourage a “cohort” effect and capture discussions that would otherwise disappear from Zoom/Google Meet chat. However, we recognise that learners may join the synchronous sessions on their phones and therefore the Zoom/Google Meet chat is useful in this case.
