- Click this link to join the Slack team: Slack invite link
Links to an external site.
- Please send a direct message to me, Curran, saying something like "Hi I'm in the WPI course", so I can add you to the private channel for our course.
- Please add a profile picture to your Slack profile. This makes for a better, more personal Slack experience overall for the course learning community.
- Join the #help channel, where you can ask for help in the future for D3-related coding issues.
- Fill out your Canvas profile
- Add photo
- Create your own introduction video (less than 3 minutes please)
- Record a video of yourself talking. Introduce yourself. Talk about things like:
- What is your name?
- Where are you from?
- What are your goals in taking this course?
- Any relevant projects where you want to use data visualization?
- What are your personal interests/hobbies?
- Use any video capture tools you like. Open Broadcaster Software is a nice one https://obsproject.com/download Links to an external site. You can use a smartphone as well.
- Post the video in Slack.
- One option is to post first on YouTube (as "unlisted" if you are concerned about privacy), then post the link in Slack.
- You can also post the video directly to Slack (but be mindful about file size).
- Watch everyone else’s introductions (this is why they should be less than 3 minutes).
- Comment on at least one of the introductions, or otherwise participate in a discussion in Slack.
- Leave at least one emoji reaction to something in Slack (these are awesome).
- Please submit something for this assignment here in Canvas, for example "posted in Slack", because I use this as the signal that it's ready to grade.
