Improving Shareability and Maintainability for Short Training Workshops
The ProjectConvert workshop training contentfrom PowerPoints, PDFs, code scripts, and text files to a GitHub Pages online training resourcewhile incorporating best practice pedagogy
Why• Easier for new instructors• Simpler correction and updating of material• Allows multiple delivery options• Supports sharing of training content
The Benefits• Provides a fully self-contained training resource• Encourages a focus on better learning outcomes • Edits can be made in just a few minutes• Any trainer (or user) can submit edit requests
The Challenges• Conversion takes 1-2 days per day of content• Data scientists may need guidance to structure lessons• Training specialists may need guidance in technical content• Can’t restrict access (may be possible with other hosts)
The Process• High level review of existing workshop
content• Split into topic sections (“Episodes”)
• Define learning objectives – three to five foreach episode
• Order learning objectives into progressively advancing steps
• Develop challenges and code examples towards each objective
• Break down theory sections and match with corresponding objectives, challenges and examples
• Merge content from existing sources into episode markdown documents
• Integrate to Software Carpentries Jekyll theme1 and display on GitHub Pages
