Where to host discussions and "get help"

[sgbaird]

Currently, I have it set up so questions and discussions across all of the microcourses funnel to here (AC Microcourses Discussions), where each course has a separate category. This keeps things streamlined and centralized, while still remaining somewhat organized.

I also considered the idea of enabling discussions for each of the course organizations. For example, https://github.com/orgs/ACC-HelloWorld. Howeve

Centralized Approach

Pros

• Raises visibility of high-level repo
• Keeps things integrated with the docs/tutorials
• Reduces likelihood of redundancy

Cons

• People that are watching the repo might get pinged with more than what they'd like (i.e., unable to separate notifications for general discussions vs. people asking for help on a specific assignment)
• Slightly more difficult to navigate to learner repos
• Maybe a bit more cumbersome to try to separate/label modules
