Notes

2. ENROLMENTS Now What?

contact every person, let them know if they are in or not - be clear - explain why they are in or not - let them know when the first class is on - use http://whenisgood.net - expect half to not turn up for the first day - social contract

Metrics / Testimonials

Blog post stating number of applicants

Application letters: do they have good feedback

Matt can help a) pull the total numbers?

inviting participants to share their blogs (how)

Ari: no of people applied - applied for other courses John: be clear of time commitment Ari: wide spectrum of experience with code (total beginners or just new to processing.js) what to do? some are also in the processing community developing games whatever their ability one hour call for everyone, smaller groups dotted throughout the week john: a lot of work to balance skills levels ari: 50 people as intake - not expecting them all to make it the full 6 weeks. john: be clear of what you need before the first meeting find out how many will turn up using WhenIsGood - use these numbers to choose whether it's a call or video. john: those who made the second call stayed the full 6 weeks give them something to do in advance 1 minute report back, 2 minute report back conference call: freeconferencecall.com , skype has limits

Matt? Could we use the Mozilla line?
