He's Dead, Dan!
Goodbye CCU4
What Happened?
ccu4 died, thats what happened!
ironically its raining while i write this.
Diagnosis: CCU4 had no chance of surviving since the very start. the idea of a school on the internet was not a bad idea, since major university's have been able to do it. the bad idea was to run a inet school in a video-game that i've seen small children play. things were going good at the start, people were joining. i knew it was going downhill when one of the people whom we had hired was using the program "paint" on a pocket computer to draw pr0n. *cough* scratchthatguys *cough* *cough*. thats when i realized that it was never going to work.

So, you want to make CCU happen again, and you say that you think you can make it work. Do you have a plan? Do you have a teaching plan? Whatever it is I would love to be a part of it :P/>/>/>. I was a part of CCU2 and did a lot to CCU3 to make it happen. I hope you have read some posts on the other CCU's topics. Also, make sure you see this post and read my last post of CCU3.

Also, make sure you see this post and read my last post of CCU3.
The following part got cut off.
My plan would be to have a combination of teachers and teacher-bots. so that when the teachers are offline students could still learn and experiment with computercraft and lua.

I would absolutely love to help in any shape or form if possible, as a server owner on lua land, I have a lot of experience as an administrator and dealing with various types of people.
Posted 05 January 2015 - 12:33 AM
A note of caution: every CCU, including mine/Cranium's, thought they could make it work. They couldn't. Do something radically different, or you'll meet the same fate.
Good luck though!

Sorry to keep you guys waiting, but were trying to prepare the university to the point where you can do something other than play in the park.
also i'm preparing for the ACT test.

Posted 09 January 2015 - 08:29 PM
my advice? Instead of a focus on scheduled classes, there should be a focus on building interactive tutorials and demos, where players wanting to learn can go through a kind of guided self-study thing at their own pace at any time, with the teachers, and more advanced students, acting as lab assistants when they're around, helping people as needed rather than trying to herd cats students into sitting still through lectures at specific times.
Posted 09 January 2015 - 10:11 PM
NOTE: I can be a teacher in Basic and Medium Level. In hardlest levels I'll need to be a student.

I've signed up as a teacher, not 100% sure how much I can do given time constraints, but I'll give it a shot.
One thing, there are actually timezones beyond UTC +11, specifically New Zealand which is 12/13 hours ahead (depending on daylight savings).

Here's an idea. Create floppy disk programs to teach certain concepts (use io.read() and loadstring() to run it.) Basically, something like the Hour of Code tutorials.

I don't know Lua, so I can't help you, but if you are going to get a GUI teacher, make him or her use Bedrock. It saved oeed thousands of lines of code, and it's very stable and expansive.

Hi, I would really like to join. I've used CC for the last few years in every mod pack I've played if it was available and I really enjoy what it can do. I don't think I can say I "KNOW LUA", but I'm not new to programming and I've made a few contraptions using computers and turtles. I'm interested in learning all the things available, and I can probably help out or teach beginner lvl stuff.
Please add me ^_^/>

I haven't been on the server, but as someone else on this thread suggested( GopherAtl ), add interactive tutorials to make people more active on the server.
That opens up the possibility for people to get on the server 24/7 and learn, instead of just when there's classes.

The problem is actually part of groupmanager. He needs to do this command /mangaddv student build true, which will allow players to interact with blocks.

I gotta be honest, the state of the university is really apaulling. the terrible custom bootloader that wont boot properly unless you terminate it. the look and design is hideous, large floating structures, the lack of functionality is also very astounding.

You would want to use another plugin to prevent them from building. The build variable prevents them from doing anything, which includes interacting with computers. This is important for any kind of interactive tutorial.

For recording you could use Open Broadcaster Software, which is free or if you have an nVidia graphics card, you could use ShadowPlay, which is also free. Both do their job very well.does anyone know of any video recording programs / video editing programs for windows? preferably cheap

Gyazo is a great screenshot/ video recording program that will post your pic/video on a web link (It can only be found by the web link, so you don't need to worry about someone finding it unless they're given the web link) And it's free. Very easy to select a part of your screen to take a pic of or record. :D/>does anyone know of any video recording programs / video editing programs for windows? preferably cheap

i know how to make teacher bots just get a computer then write a program that allows students to type in what they want to learn and it would use a monitor to display instructions then the students would throw floppy disks with their program into a hopper and once teachers come on they can look at the disks and grade them based on the program the students made
