<div class="callout-content" style=""><p>All course communications, news, and updates to materials, schedules, etc., will be posted via <code>Discord</code> and the <a href="https://cdh2025.mixa.site/blog">News</a> section of this website. I will not use CULearn/D2L/Brightspace. Critical updates will be posted in Discord and emailed to you. If you have any concerns, please email me or request a virtual meeting time.</p></div>
</blockquote></div>
<p>Our primary source for all course communication will be through <a href="https://discord.com/">Discord</a>. If you do not have Discord, please click the link and install it.  It is a free platform that allows us to have our own private server to chat, discuss, and share materials related to the course (or memes - I really love memes). If you are unsure about putting your identity online on another social platform, do not fret, as Discord allows you to be anonymous in the server channels. After you install Discord, please check your emails as I will have sent you a link to the class Discord server. Click the link, accept the rules, and enter the server. Is it that easy?</p>
<p>This Website also has a News section where Microblog posts and course announcements will be shared. Please check this regularly.</p>
