Hi folks, Just saw this post thanks to the Carpentry Clippings link.
Using the Software Carpentry Infrastructure <https://github.com/AgileBioFoundry/2019-02.26-28-cell-factory-design-course/tree/gh-pages>, I recently taught a concurrent, multi-site 2-day cell factory design workshop <https://agilebiofoundry.github.io/2019-02.26-28-cell-factory-design-course/> as a guest lecturer for a graduate course in Biochemical Engineering at Washington State University. The setup was: * Half the class was in Richland, WA * the other half was in Pullman, WA , * we had helpers in both locations, * the WSU A/V team provided video cameras so we could all see each other * my computer screen was shared to both locations To minimize installation issues, students were encouraged to use Binder <https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/agilebiofoundry/2019-02.26-28-cell-factory-design-course/master>, although as a backup, I built and installed a conda virtual environment <https://agilebiofoundry.github.io/2019-02.26-28-cell-factory-design-course/setup/>on one of the student's laptops prior to the workshop. The WSU A/V team was available to addresss the two technical issues that came up. * One had to do with a Mac HDCP 2.2 incompatibilty <https://www.howtogeek.com/208917/htg-explains-how-hdcp-breaks-your-hdtv-and-how-to-fix-it/> that we worked around by chaining the dongles to convert HDMI -> VGA -> HDMI * The other was that the internet went down at WSU Pullman for about 5 minutes,but they were able to get back online and we picked up right where we left off. Despite these issues, the students had a great time, provided really positive feedback and I have been invited to teach it again next semester.
