Hello carpentries friends.
I am a librarian that often teaches carpentries lessons. I am collaborating with a researcher that is thinking about developing a data management training for the new grad students and postdocs in a research grant. A lot of the content that she is hoping for matches lessons in the carpentries: spreadsheet best practices, R, python, version control. However, because of the characteristics of the grant (several institutions, 5 years, several grad students and postdocs hired at different moments), it is not realistic to organize software/data carpentry workshops, the students will not coincide in time and space. A great part of the value of a carpentry workshop is the personalized interaction with instructors and helpers in the moment, of course. But since this is not an option for her team, I was wondering if somebody has adapted carpentries lessons to a more “hybrid” format, something that will not be an in person workshop, but that will be more than just a link to a lesson that the student must follow on their own. I will also be interested to hear if you know of other resources that would allow students to get similar training than the training they would get in a carpentry workshop, without the in person element. The instructor mentioned DataCamp, which I am not very familiar with. As always, thanks for your help!
