Hi Inigo, I've not taught Git but I have helped my two of my colleagues. In both cases, we managed to show a demo in which the instructor and I (or another helper) participated. Then, we paired the students according to the participant list as it appeared on my zoom screen. We took 5 minutes to read out the names of students in order as it appeared to me. Two students A and B who appear consecutively and are both present are paired off. We had about 15 pairs (some participants did not want to be paired). The final student was accommodated into another group to make it a group of 3.
It seemed to go off well (enough)! Good luck Arvind On Wed, Mar 10, 2021 at 4:59 PM Inigo Aldazabal Mensa <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Next week I'll be instructing my first online workshop, specifically > the Git lesson. > > I have instructed this lesson quite a few times in person, and starting > from the collaboration part I do learners work in pairs, with one being > the repository "owner", and the other the "collaborator", swapping > roles, creating and resolving conflicts, etc. This usually takes the > second half of the lesson. > > Now the questions is, how do you deal with working in owner - > collaborator pairs in an online workshop?
