SourceForge Access
Give all new team members access to their respective SourceForge folders. To do this follow these instructions. The design team is the only team that actively uses this system, but there are some old documents in the Outreach folder that have been useful, so show that folder to the Outreach team.
Getting Teams Going
It is very hard for teams to digest their task and start working immediately. You will want to encourage them to really take the time to understand their challenges and form them into semester goals. Also encourage the teams to talk with you and/or Monroe about the theoretical points they don't totally understand. This really sets the tone for the rest of the semester.
Class Email List
Establish a list for students who are enrolled in the class. During class throughout the first several weeks ask students to let you know if they are not on this list. Students have differing opinions on how often emails should be sent, so feel free to ask them their opinions during the midterm survey. A summary email of events once a week usually works well with reminder emails for more important things such as assignment deadlines.
Listserv
The AguaClara listserv can be used for general announcements that are not for class. The list has hundreds of students who have been interested in the project at some point but are not necessarily enrolled in the class. It can be used, for example, for events, such as the benefit concert or lectures that might be of interest. You can also send emails to announce the speakers for class since students not enrolled might want to attend.
