NAME

lernid - program for participating in Ubuntu learning events

SYNOPSIS

lernid [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page explains the lernid program. This program allows you to easily
participate in Ubuntu Learning events. It connects to the IRC classroom and classroom-chat
sessions simultaneously, displaying web pages and slides the instructor presents. You can
discuss the class and ask questions in the classroom-chat window. Use the message box, at
the bottom right of the screen, to send your input to the class.

You can ask questions to be answered by the instructor as part of the class by preceding
it with the tag "QUESTION:". Checking the checkbox near the message box will do that for
you automatically. If the class is being taught in a language other than English the token
may change to match.

In Preferences, two layouts are available, horizontal and vertical, which switch whether
the browser and slides (if any) are on top or on the left of the classroom and chatroom
panes. Choose whichever best matches your screen, and your convenience. Other preferences
may be set as well.

Classroom events depend upon the classroom calendar. Lernid will update its calendar
several times an hour. If Lernid doesn't seem to be up-to-date it may be worthwhile to
update it yourself using the refresh control on the schedule tab.

Many like to keep track of future classroom events. The calendar ical buttons may be
helpful to you should you wish to subscribe using your calendar management software or web
app.

You can easily send a message about the current session, through all your accounts that
you have added to Gwibber, by using the "Publicize with Gwibber" option under the "Events"
menu.
