Hi All, On Wednesday November 7th, 15:00 UTC, we will host an Instructor Discussion Session around the theme of delivering exercises to learners during a workshop. Sarah Brown will kick things off with an overview of how she uses IPython ‘%load’ magic to provide exercises on-demand within a Jupyter Notebook (see her excellent blogpost [1] and this GitHub issue [2] for more details). We’ll follow that with a more general discussion, where we’ll hear from the experiences of other instructors: How do they provide exercises to their learners? What are the advantages/disadvantages to these approaches? How might we use/adapt the existing lesson material and template to help with delivering exercises to our learners when they need them? If you’re interested in learning more from our instructor community about how to manage exercises most effectively while you teach, please join us! You can add your name to the attendance list and check the start time in your local timezone on the Instructor Discussion etherpad [3].
For those interested who can’t attend, look out for a blogpost soon after, summarising the discussion.
