Keeping your camera on during class is an essential part of the ReDI Experience, helping us build a strong sense of community and create meaningful interactions. We kindly ask all students to follow this policy to ensure the best possible experience for everyone involved. ### **Why is this important?** * **Builds a Real Classroom Experience:** Seeing each other helps us connect and create a sense of community. * **Respects Our Teachers' Efforts:** Our volunteer teachers dedicate their time and expertise out of kindness. They value seeing your faces and engaging with you directly. * **Encourages Participation:** A camera-on policy promotes active participation and helps everyone feel more involved in the learning process. ### **Policy Guidelines** 1. **Camera On During Class:** * Keep your camera on throughout the session to be marked as present. * If your camera remains off for an extended period, it may result in being marked as absent. 2. **Short Breaks Are Okay:** * You can turn your camera off briefly if you need to attend to something urgent or take a restroom break. * **Communication is Key:** Inform your teacher or classmates via the chat if you need to turn your camera off temporarily. 3. **Technical Issues:** * If you’re facing technical difficulties with your camera, inform your teacher or class coordinator immediately. ### **What Happens If the Policy Is Not Followed?** * Students who **consistently keep their cameras off** without a valid reason or fail to communicate may be considered **absent** for those sessions. We believe that keeping your camera on helps foster better connections and enriches the learning experience for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding! **Let’s make the most of our classes together!** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://redi-school-1.gitbook.io/applicant-hub/resources/camera-on-policy.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
