'''''Note on class times:''''' Because we have students in many time zones, and countries with different dates for [[Daylight Savings Time]](DST)/Summer Time, times may vary. Generally speaking, class time on Tuesdays will be consistent in the US and Canada throughout the class, but will shift by an hour if your country adopts DST. (March 31 in Europe, April 7 in Mexico, etc.) '''''Please click the "UTC" link below, and enter your city, to confirm local time!'''''

== Friday lab sessions ==
Homework may be taken on in your own time, but many students will want to work together. We suggest Fridays as the best time to do so. These sessions will be informal, but course instructors [[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] and [[User:Snarfa|Sara]] will be online (at minimum) for an hour at 15:30 UTC (same time as the Tuesday classes). We will use a variety of platforms to stay in touch; use whichever ones make the most sense to you!
* Wikipedia, especially our project talk page: [[WT:Communicate OER]]
* Our online conference room (used for class sessions): [https://sas.elluminate.com/m.jnlp?password=M.7EF1419357E089BCE412FAEDFCA8C2&amp;sid=2008170 j.mp/wikiSOOconf]
* Our ether pad for note-taking and URLS: <strike> http://www.unserpad.de/p/wikisoo-course </strike>
** Some trouble with this pad on PCs - moving to http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/WIKISOO!
* Twitter, using the hashtag [https://twitter.com/search?q=%23wikiSOO&src=typd #wikiSOO]
* Freenode IRC, in the #oer channel
* And/or other tools of your choosing, e.g. Skype, Google Hangout, Jitsi, carrier pigeon, etc.
