If you want a [Mattermost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattermost) team hosted on our own servers ([mattermost.tudelft.nl](https://mattermost.tudelft.nl)) to handle the communication with your students and/or teaching assistants, contact eip-ewi@tudelft.nl with a suggested team name and the username of the user who will be the team admin.
#### Personal Experience with MM (Example Usage)
Using Mattermost for Software Architecture (100 students):
All students registered on Mattermost through a link given to them on [Brightspace](Brightspace).
They self-organized into groups of four on [Brightspace](Brightspace) and then students self-created 27 public channels on Mattermost. Groups can see and follow each other's work, by design, and are encouraged to help each other.
There is a shared "Questions" channel where students can help each other (which they do).
On top of that, for the four assignments there are deadlines and students have to hand in written material (this can be done via [Brightspace](Brightspace)).

The evaluation of these written documents (also done by the students) we formally organize through the TU Delft [Peer](https://peer.ewi.tudelft.nl) system. Here the students who give the feedback are anonymous and they must go through a specific list of questions/rubrics to carefully study each other's work and offer each other feedback.
