#SummerSchool Moderator Signup Form
Hello! Scholar.Social is hosting #SummerSchool, an interdisciplinary online academic conference covering a variety of topics, loosely around July 26 - August 6 Our goals are to: 1. provide scholars with a venue of talking about our work when so many things have been canceled and we need feedback 2. provide all of the Fediverse knowledge and insight from people of multiple backgrounds 3. carry forward the ethics of Scholar.Social which is that knowledge should be free and accessible to all. As a moderator, your duties will be to: * At the beginning of the session announce the presenter by their name, handle, and title of the presentation. If the presenter wants to record the talk, ask all audience members if they consent with the recording, and if not, don't. * Tell the audience the rules: No vocal interruption of the presenter, hold all questions and comments until the end, use the text chat, turn off your camera, turn off your microphone until the end of the talk. * During the presentation, use the text chat as time keeping for the presenter. Announce 10, 5, and 0-minute marks. * Because the talks are going to be relatively short, we are operating on a one strike rule. If someone makes a comment that is offensive or out of line, mute them or kick them out of the session. * If a presenter is unable to host a meeting, you may be asked to do so via either Zoom or Jitsi. This form closes at the end of the day on July 4, and we'll put you in contact with the presenter you're moderating for shortly after. Contact @SummerSchool@scholar.social if you have any questions!
