Nick, We did this when I was at The University of Oklahoma with Greg Wilson coming in remotely to teach SQL. Greg cast his screen to the local displays and his audio boomed from the speakers in the room. He did not stream video for most of the teaching time.
Worked well. Like you suggest, we had local helpers/instructors and that makes all the difference. It was at times a bit hard to feed-back to him that we needed to slow-down or pause. But otherwise I think it can be an effective option if you have solid internet on both ends. Otherwise it can be frustrating, I have some experience teaching instructor-training remotely with a local instructor (Belinda Weaver) and because of bad internet on the receiving end we threw in the towel and she had to teach the rest. Titus Brown has experimented with multi-sites, he has a debrief on an early experiment with it here: http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/2015-3hr-remote-workshops.html Regards, --- Jonah Duckles The Carpentries [email protected] On 8 March 2019 at 12:00:49, nick.wong via discuss ( [email protected]) wrote: Hi everyone, long time reader, first time poster. [noob question] I was wondering if carpentry workshops have ever been delivered concurrently at different sites using something like zoom? The idea being one instructor at each site delivering an episode live at that site, with the remote listening in and then swapping. Both sites would have an instructor and helpers. Has anyone tried this? I would love to hear your thoughts and learnings from such an experience. Thanks in advance.
