In this guide, you will find various methods for accessing your peers' profiles, communicating with fellow bootcampers, and reaching out to people on the platform.
During participation in an online course, within the Course player, you'll find three distinct tabs: Path, Learners, and Discuss.
Within the Learners section, you can locate individuals who have registered for the specific course. By selecting a particular user card, you will be redirected to that user's profile. Click on the Contact button if you wish to send them a direct message. The message will be sent to the user's inbox.
In the Discuss tab, you can find all the comments that have been posted on the Course Discussion so far, and you have the option to contribute a new comment if desired.
Notes:
- You can also find the list of all users and contact them, by navigating to the school's top bar and clicking on the Other Learners option (this option may vary according to school settings). You will be redirected to the People page, where you can choose a particular user, click on the user card and you will be transferred to the user's profile page.
In case you would like to ask anything from a specific user or member of the staff, navigate to the Discuss tab and tag them, by typing the @ in front of the username. This will result in a notification message in their inbox. The tag ability applies in the exact same way if you post anything on the Community page.
On the Community page, you are able to make posts and polls, communicate with other users, and join different Spaces. Spaces are areas within the community where you can interact with one another. All spaces in the community belong to a Collection. The Community is usually located on the top bar of the school.
To send a user a direct message, click on the Inbox option in the top bar. This action will take you to the Inbox page, where you can compose your message.
