Hello.
So umm, me and Zebrah decided that the current sign-in sheets need some revisions. In my opinion, it gets difficult to keep track of who's coming into your class and who's not, and this could benefit Serenitys idea of a class size limit.
Zebrah, what was that idea of yours?
Oh ok let me get a write up done. gimme a sec

There will also be a spoiler for the registration process. I didn't put it there because I haven't made a final draft. Studnets will reply this way (No ")
"WILD-1
AP-1"
Obviously there will be more then one class in each section as we go along.
And class durations can also be posted or they can all start at the same time.
Professors names will link to teachers pages if you like that idea
Ok. I just think maybe a darker green or a blue for when it reads "open". Maybe also list how many spots were taken then slash the classroom capacity, like for example, 25/30.
That's a good idea, lime is much to bright lol. And the 25/30 idea is very good. So would you like to start running semesters? Like a 4 week semester where all the classes start at the same time. Or would having an ongoing thread that you just edit be better?
Welcome to the DreamViews Academy. Please sign up in this thread.
To register post only the class ID number ie. WILD-1. To register for multiple classes sepparate the IDs like this WILD-1 | AP-1. Please do don't ask questions in this thread. This is strictly a registration thread.

I'm all for this.
Glad to hear it Louie. I need to message Naiya with my teachers application to help fill out the course list.
The course applications usually just end up getting posted here. It's called Professor Applications, then we discuss them.
As for the course list, you can always edit them. I believe you have Mod powers in our section. So for now, we can just put DILD and Dream Control but don't put my name down because pretty soon I won't be teaching. I think Naiya will be taking over DILD 1.
Louie would you rather it be a brand new thread and not in the old welcome to the DVA thread?
EDIT: I think it would be much better to get a teaching outline done like I talked about and getting a few more teachers. But if you want to get it out now that is your choice.
Also this is just a way of presenting the classes. I think what we should do is get the class list up and give people one month to register. The semester will last 4 weeks or a month. So durring the first semester more people can be registering for the next.
And as far as I can tell I have no mod powers.
And I think a realistic goal would be to get this new system up by the 1st of August.
Yeah, I'm cool with getting it out there. I think throwing away the older sign-in threads to the DVA Recycle Bin would be good. I'm just concerned that if we put it all in one thread, it would be hard to keep track of the new people going to each class. Then again, we could just start a new thread in the future, maybe in between semesters.
I don't think we should merge it with the Welcome thread though. Maybe update the instructions.
read the update.
Ok guys, I'm thinking we should make this more personal.
Our current sign-in threads should be tossed. Here are my reasons:
1. It's getting more and more difficult to find out who is/isn't signing up for your class. In all honesty, I admit to turning away from it when I saw that there has been a new post in my DILD thread simply because I didn't feel like going through the hassle.
2. I think it would be more personal if the threads would be started by the teacher. The teacher lists their own time instead of someone like me trying to figure that out.
3. I think I need a 3rd reason so I'm just going to say that umm... To be more organized.
I recommend using Zebrahs idea. I think the sign-in threads will be gotten rid of soon, however, that doesn't mean we can't live in the present and organize what we have.
Who's with me?
That is a good idea Louie. Maybe we could have a master class list and then individual threads from instructors. Also how much of a strain on the IRC would it be for everyone to have a "classroom"/"office" like #DVAzebrah, #DVAlouie54, #DVAserenity. This way when a password is said in #DV it only effects one teacher which can be quickly fixed. And this way we don't run into scheduling troubles.
Yeah I'm not sure about that. Sounds like something to ask Alex.
Louie, I agree on the need to scrap the old threads. I want to start a couple of classes next week, and I'm a bit unsure where to announce it at this point. :P
Naiya post what classes you are going to teach and the info and I will put it up. Should I just put this one in place of the Welcome to the DVA thread.
Here's the info for the classes I hope to teach. If we need to push them back another week, that's fine too but I hope to start them as soon as possible. Anyway, should I make a sticky in the main DVA forums announcing open classes?
I spoke to Alex about the old registration system, and we can re-introduce that as a way for people to sign up for individual classes again. It should be running by the end of the week. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions about how you want it to work. :)

Percy you live in California. That is GMT -8 (currently -7 because of the time change)
http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=99721 All classes are up now.
Awesome work!!!!
OPS! OK. I was thinking in PST :lol:
Lol ok Percy.
Are you doing any other classes?
Just a heads up guys, we can't do the class applications through the website since that feature isn't out for our version of Vb yet. That means we'll need to fall back on the old system of using threads or PMs to sign up. Any ideas about how we can do it that in the most organized way possible would be great and sorry for the inconvenience.
Members go to the class catalog and decide what classes they want and go to the summer class registration thread. They only post the class IDs they want and then teachers assemble a list of all their students for quick adding and removal from the usergroup and mass PMs.
That is a possibility. We could also have a spoiler for the entire catalog in the signup thread.
So far I will do MILD classes. I plan others but I want to start with MILD. It will be the most rewarding and deep course :)
Yes. That is the proper idea. They pull the class lists and then they request the Class-ID they are interested in. A thread with only that information should be created. All other off-topic threads will be erased and considered spam in case of abuse from a single user.
Mm I don't think we would need to delete peoples threads unless they are spam or already covered. And btw can I be the first student in your MILD class.
Yeah, that is what I meant. Erase spam only. Not the sign up threads because we need to keep track of everything :)
Sure you can! Just sign up when the post is created (or the way you plan to do it!)
Cool thanks.
Good news--the mod we needed for applications was just released today and Alex installed it right away. I'm in the midst of setting up applications for each of the classes that are open for enrollment. :D
When a student applies, the application will be sent to whoever is teaching the course. The application will also be posted in a thread in case the teacher for whatever reason becomes unavailable.
OK, double posting I know, but this is important for how we can do these applications:
1. Make a thread in DVA staff for your applications.
2. Make up a list of questions you want in your application and PM this list to me along with the link to your thread.
3. ???
4. PROFIT. :)
Yayyyy!!! Once I finish up my other project with you, I will get to work on this straight away :D
Wow, now we are getting somewhere. My question though... umm... were do you go to fill out an application? I mean, I know they are here... In our staff section, but where would the average noob go?
Edit: Haha never mind... I found it.
Good work guys :goodjob2:
