Data Ethics Club: TITLE OF MATERIAL#

:arrow_forward: What’s this document?

:writing_hand: Let’s write together!

We’re trying to write up these discussions and include input from everyone. We hope you’ll join us and help us to make any write-ups of the discussion a little more representative of everyone’s point of view.

We also hope that through doing this, we’ll open up the possibility for more collaborative writing together in the future, e.g. through a perspective article. That’s if there’s any appetite from you to do that.

:computer: Writing in Markdown

We’re using HackMD to write a collaborative Markdown document. Markdown is a format for writing text that displays nicely on websites. On the left you can edit, and on the right you can see view.

:grey_question: Getting Markdown help

There is a question mark symbol at the top of the screen that will bring up a cheat sheet, e.g. write between single asterixes to write in italics or double asterixes for bold. You can also use the buttons at the top of the edit panel.

Discussion#

Each week, we split into breakout rooms of 4-6 people to discuss the material. Please make space for one another to talk - keep your eyes open :eyes: for people with their hands up :hand: and invite them to talk.
