Hi, I have for a while been thinking about the term ‘live-coding’ as we use it as our teaching approach in workshops. What we mean is a form of teaching described in the instructor training material<https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/15-live/index.html> as “work[ing] through the lesson material, typing in the code or instructions, with the workshop participants following along”. But there are other meanings of the term, for example, some people will ‘live code’ a software demo during a conference, without the participants doing any coding themselves. Apparently it even can be done as a performing arts form (creating sounds, images, etc)- see the wikipedia entry on ‘Live coding'. I am looking for a term that better describes what we do. Examples I have considered: - live follow-along coding; however, follow-along does not imply learners being active, they could just as well sit back, relax and follow along closely (note that the description from the instructor training material uses this wording also) - live interactive coding; however, there is not much interaction unless for any truly interactive exercises - live together-coding or live collaborative coding; however, we are not really coding together or collaboratively, learners merely mirror the instructor (except for when they do exercises); still, these are currently my favourites Any other suggestions?
