 * [|Backchannel]** is the practice of using networked computers to maintain a real-time online conversation alongside live spoken remarks. The term was coined in the field of Linguistics to describe listeners' behaviours during verbal communication, Victor Yngve 1970. (Wikipedia)=====

The backchannel is everything going on in the room that isn't coming from the presenter. The backchannel is where people ask each other questions, pass notes, get distracted, and give you **the most immediate feedback you'll ever get**. (TodaysMeet)

We will be using a session hosted at [|TodaysMeet] to share questions and comments and to provide real-time feedback from your instructors.
