#title Session Helpers for the Ubuntu Classroom <> During events such as UbuntuOpenWeek, UbuntuDeveloperWeek, and UserDays, there has been a need for "Session Helpers" to do certain tasks. This is an attempt to define some of the tasks that a Session Helper may do: * Meet with the instructor prior to the session and answer any questions for the instructor and determine how the instructor wants the class run (+m/help with questions, etc.) * Change {{{#ubuntu-classroom}}} and {{{#ubuntu-classroom-chat}}} topics * Give instructors Ops/Voice in the channels * Set #ubuntu-classroom to moderated (+m) * Assist in moving questions from {{{#ubuntu-classroom-chat}}} to {{{#ubuntu-classroom}}} for the instructor * Assist with questions in {{{#ubuntu-classroom-chat}}} The IRC-based commands are now handled by ClassBot, but Helpers still need to handle them if something out of the ordinary happens (need a non-standard topic, instructor rejoins with an alternate nickname, instructor needs another user voiced at last minute, etc).
