Virtual Security Measures Document
If a learner needs to be removed from an experience, the Producer can do it. As an Instructor or Mentor please inform your Producer if a learner is violating our Code of Conduct or Coder’s Code and needs to be removed. Strategies and reasons a learner might need to be removed from an experience are linked in this document. Once they are removed from an experience, the Producer should contact their CSM.

This document is used for understanding, sourcing, and cataloging Magic Moments while we are virtual. As a Mentor, you’ll likely find Magic Moments in the chat, and in your breakout rooms! Please write down Magic Moments and refer to this document on where to share them.
Building a Land Acknowledgement Template
Build your land acknowledgement before the workshop. Use the template, make a copy and search using this website about the Indigenous folks in the area you are broadcasting from. Encourage and invite learners to investigate Indigenous land history, culture, and tradition in their area!
