They also serve as places for networking and for peer mentorship between experienced and new instructors. 

All community members interested in serving as discussion hosts are invited to an onboarding session on  Wednesday, June 9 at 12noon UTC ( see the start time in your time zone)

Please sign up to attend the onboarding sessions in our Community Discussions Etherpad. More details are available in this blog post
