Thank you everyone for the conversations, suggestions and concerns you have shared regarding The Carpentries workshops and COVID-19. We have had over 2 dozen workshops cancelled or postponed due to mandates to migrate classes online or suspend public gatherings. Demand for our workshops is still high. While our workshops are designed for in-person facilitation we have heard from you that remote delivery is a viable option that you would like to try.
At this time, we are unable to support remote centrally-organised workshops. However, Serah Rono, Director of Community Development and Engagement, initiated a collaborative document on Tips for Teaching and Learning Online by The Carpentries Community. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MdmrNn5g2oa2AA6EGYZhyDx-O_YOoH_HqNGsmP6LKIo/edit> We encourage you to contribute where you can and use this as a resource if you are planning to teach a self-organised workshop remotely. If you are planning to host/teach a remote self-organised workshop, please complete the workshop request form <https://amy.carpentries.org/forms/self-organised/>. We would also like to receive feedback on lessons learned, so please send an email to [email protected]. Be sure to read The Carpentries blog post <https://carpentries.org/blog/2020/03/covid-19-update/> on tips for staying safe during this time. Again, we thank each of you for your continued support and commitment to fulfilling the mission <https://carpentries.org/about/>of The Carpentries. Best and Stay Safe, Sher!
