Uhh, explain?

Well, in Hiveworkshop, Daelin had his own JASS Classroom, which was basically a really long, multiple-lesson tutorial on JASS, with assignments and stuff.

I was wondering if we could have these or not.

start your own thread (if you want to be the teacher). It can all be done using the simple, yet intuitive design of TH. If you are asking for someone to start one so you can learn, then nvm what I said.

 

[pheonixashes]

Well, I just want to see one, maybe participate in a couple lessons.

But starting one is good, but I'm not good in much.

 

[Oninuva]

I'll start one. I already created a few lessons for someone before.

 

[pheonixashes]

Oh cool. I've created some lessons as well, but I really don't want to make into a classroom.

 

[emjlr3]

how did it work?

 

[pheonixashes]

Basically, it's a free-for-all classroom.

The "teacher" of the classroom posts a lesson (usually from simplest to the more advanced, with maybe some fun ones in between), and after the mini-tutorial, the "teacher" assigns an assignment to all the "students" participating. Students participate by PMing the instructor.

The instructor posts (and edits) a list of all students participating in the lesson.

After recieving the list of all the students participating (maybe after 1-4days), the instructor hands out an assignment, with multiple sections to be graded.
Students then have from a day to a week, depending on the assignment, to finish the assignment.
When all the homework is graded, the instructor places the grades for all the students in either the same topic or another topic.

Only students can post in the lesson topic, I think.

Then it starts all over again. Different students participate in different lessons.

Why not just have a Tutorial, then lessons that you do when you get the chance?

 

[Oninuva]

Because they are not graded.

Because they are not graded.

Man do "sigs" annoying me. -.-

But really, they don't need to be...

 

[Oninuva]

It allows the user to be corrected and so they know if they are inncorrect in anyway.

Just post it in a topic.

 

[Oninuva]

That gets messy, and people are more motivated if they are personally "checked" by someone, not just the public. They feel better if they can look forward to being corrected or learn more on a virtual one to one enviroment.

[pheonixashes]

Yeah, I agree.

I like classrooms better due to the fact that they cover multiple different aspects over a while, and all in all it's a much better way to learn WE and other material.

 

[Miz]

I mean I could open a class but idk this thing is still being planed out but it would help the TH community if we did

 

[pheonixashes]

Perhaps a couple of people can collaborate to form a better classroom environment, and input from two instructors?

However, where would the thread go? Contest, World Editor Help, Member's Projects... where?

 

[The Helper]

If it is about using World Editor it should go in the World Editor Help Zone.

 

[pheonixashes]

Hmm... TheHelper, would you support this type of classrooms?

Not support as in make sub-forums, I just want to know if you're against it or not.
