It has since provided users with a terrific method to receive information on basic IRC commands as well as demonstrate the many features and resources of the Undernet. We believe that educating new users with the basics help them find their way around the network, thereby making chat on IRC a more enjoyable experience for all. We usually try to have three or four tutors per class. At that point, tutor assignments are given out by the teacher. Tutors are assigned alphabetic nicknames and assist users whose nicknames begin with those assigned letters.
Tutors are ops in the channel along with the teacher.
Also, if a user should get disconnected for some reason, then they can message their tutor for an invite back. Tutors receive messages from students in the class with questions or comments, and the tutor will then reply with an answer. If the tutor does not know the answer to a specific question, they usually ask publicly in the meeting room, and someone who does know the answer will reply. Nickname changes are discouraged during class, and users are kicked and banned if this happens. If a netsplit occurs, usually the script is stopped, and a delay of a reasonable amount of time is allowed for students to rejoin.
