Congratulations for this!
Another tool that could be used is SageMathCloud at
http://cloud.sagemath.com/
In a SageMathCloud project, open a terminal session,
make the file public, and share the url with the class.
Then everyone in the class can access it and access
the input and output.
More generally, SageMathCloud provides a cloud-based
Linux environment with tons of open-source software
installed, and could be a very good tool for Software Carpentry
trainings in at least two ways:
- as a way to work around installation problems: any trainee
who has not managed to install the appropriate software
prior to the workshop can start learning using SageMathCloud
and solving installation problems can be deferred till a break.
- as a way to make the instructor's environment accessible:
the instructor can demo everything on SageMathCloud
and easily share the terminal sessions and other material
by making their SageMathCloud project, or some directory
in there, world-readable.
The only condition for this is reliable network, of course!
The SageMathCloud developers are open to a partnership
with Software Carpentry, offering a free course subscription
for SWC workshops, so that trainees could use projects
with network access for free.
Best, Samuel
