### Additional Platforms

This course is interactive. Each module block will consist of a lecture and activity. These activities will be run in groups using Zoom's 'breakout rooms' feature.

In addition to Zoom, you will need to have access to the following services (all free to use and accessible through a browser):

1. [GitHub](https://www.github.com)—a platform for hosting files and collaborating on projects
2. [HackMD](https://www.hackmd.io)—a collaborative writing platform that uses [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/)
3. [Miro](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=b651ece141727de9JmltdHM9MTY2ODM4NDAwMCZpZ3VpZD0zYzY5MmQ5OS0zNTMwLTY1NzEtMjJjMC0zZmNiMzEzMDYzYWEmaW5zaWQ9NTE5OA&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=3c692d99-3530-6571-22c0-3fcb313063aa&psq=miro&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9taXJvLmNvbS8&ntb=1)—an online whiteboard and collaborative working tool
4. [Slack](https://turingcommons.slack.com/join/shared_invite/zt-1jdi0r5zq-_V7kygfKDIbxLiaqkZ4m9w#/shared-invite/email)—there will be a private slack channel that all participants can use for communicating during and after the course. The link will be added before the start of the course.

We recommend that you sign-up for each of these services in advance. All offer free services, which are fine for this course. We will also cover how the services work during the course where necessary.

## :exclamation:Code of conduct

We are very keen to ensure that you both benefit from training and feel part of the community, and if you think you experienced any harassment, discomfort, or anything else caused by the instructors, your peers, the course materials or the training team, please get in touch by email at [e-mail]. There is no formal process of reporting incidents and we will assess each case individually. We will also ensure confidentiality where it's appropriate.

As a general guideline, we try to abide to the Turing Way Code of Conduct principles, which you can read [here](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/community-handbook/coc/coc-details.html). This course also has additional contributing guidelines, which you can find [here](https://github.com/chrisdburr/turing-commons/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)

We can only improve and ensure you are having a good experience if you let us know what might have gone wrong or just felt exclusionary. We'd be pleased not receive any complaints, but as you well know, that doesn't always mean everything is perfect - so let's work together to make the Learning at the Turing space is as inclusive as possible.
