Hi all, I'm new to the mailing list, so please let me know if there is anything I should change about the way I am posting.
I would like to table the idea of using DC's python for ecology module in place of SWC's Python module in a SWC workshop. From what I understand the only reason not to is that the curriculum for SWC is fixed. I have found the DC Python lesson to be more relevant and applicable to learners, giving them the tools that they need to be able to work with data, rather than spending a large amount of time on general programming concepts that they would pick up along the way as the SWC Python lesson does. We are considering dropping the SWC branding and running the most applicable lessons, but i am reluctant to do so as I view the SWC pedagogy as excellent in general. Rather, I would like to hear from the community as to why there is this restriction, to better inform our decision regarding workshop content.
