What is Discord?
For our course group chat we use the service called Discord. You can register for Discord here https://discord.com/ Discord is an application and can be downloaded for Windows/Mac or used in the browser. There are also mobile apps available. Each course has its own text and video channel. You need an invitation link to join the channels. This link is provided in the course approval link. Be careful, those links can only be used once. If your link is expired, please contact our stuff or your mentor. Here is an easy tutorial introduction video for Discord

IKG is a place of exchange, so normally your profile is visible to all your course colleagues. If you feel the need to hide it, you can go to your profile and hide it > Profile > Personal Data > First Field
