Lecturemates, for the classmates hiding in plain sight

Field notes

Lecturemates organizes interaction around individual class sections rather than a general campus feed. Its visible Physics 152 room reports 112 classmates who opted in and 31 currently online, then places named student profiles beside an anonymous professor thread. The homepage says .edu email verification is part of joining, while linked privacy and terms pages and a disclaimer of university affiliation provide some operational context. The extract does not show how moderation or verification works in practice.
