Thread: DVA Reorganization

OK guys, to prevent further drama we renamed all the DVA subforums and descriptions. All DVA stickies and announcements in the general on-topic forums are in the Graveyard. We will make some new ones once DVA is fixed up.

If you have any suggestions about the DVA subforums, go into the DVA staff forum and post 'em there. For example we don't know if we only need one classroom forum or more than one at this point, so if we end up needing to add things or adapt things to how the program will be run then that's no problem.

From now on we can have all the discussion about the DVA program in the new DVA subforums.

A guide on how to make a class is now posted. For those of you who want to teach but are unsure how, be sure to check it out!

So what's going on guys? We almost good to go?

I copied/pasted all the info on the core classes and applications with the DGT account, and moved all the old stuff into the DVA archives to clean it up a bit. The only thing thats left are getting stickies out, and applications to to potential professors, and finding more of them. Other than that, it looks like all systems are go.

Ok so what do the classes look like/what will they be like? I mean as in, will it be a chatroom, thread, pm, etc.

I don't have sticky privileges anywhere but here, but I think we should be sticking professor apps (I think we have enough students at this point), then maybe everything else, like you said.

I moved the thread from my class into this forum so it could be visible to you.

The way we did the classes originally was by having students use a DJ/workbook in the classroom subforum of DVA, posting their dreams and assignments there. Lectures were pre-set times and were held in a special, password protected room in IRC. After each of my lectures, I usually stayed in chat for another hour or so to answer any questions the students had.

This format seemed to work pretty well, IMO. On average, 7/9 students were in chat during the lectures. I was quite surprised. Every single student updated their DJs and did the assignments.

I can sticky the Prof. Applications in the on-topic boards for you.

That would be good
