CodeRefinery: welcome and practical information for workshops

Generic welcome

Welcome!

Privacy note

  • This workshop may be recorded and streamed.
  • Your video won't appear, but your voice may.
  • Chat and HackMD lets you communicate anonymously.

About the workshop

These days, computation is everywhere. Many people learn programming, but it's much harder to learn how all of the things fit together in practice.

This means that computing often holds back the science, and not everyone has an equal opportunity.

The point is that everyone has to have base skills in order to:

  • Do their science without barriers
  • Produce higher quality, reproducible research
  • Collaborate

What is CodeRefinery

Who are we?

  • Course coordinators
  • Instructors
  • Expert helpers
  • Exercise leaders

Introductions? Maybe at the end if we have time.

Not everything will be perfect

  • We have more material than we can cover: we adjust to the audience.

Practicalities

How the workshop works

When some people teach online, they can reach ~20 people at once. We can reach hundreds.

You can watch various ways:

  • Watch in Zoom
  • Watch via livestream
  • Watch recordings later

There are many parts of the workshop:

  • Demos and talking (main room)
  • Type-along (main room)
  • Exercises (breakout rooms)
  • Breaks, at least 10 minutes/hour

There is a lot of material, and everyone will take a slightly different path. This is OK!

Chat and communication

  • Please don't use the Zoom chat for questions: who can keep track?

    • But you can for practical questions

  • Use HackMD for chat: questions in bullet points: View and edit modes at top

  • From here you can also find important links and reference.

  • You can switch between view and edit modes: View and edit modes at top

    • You have to switch to edit mode once to get live updates (then you can go back to view)
    • Please leave in view mode if you aren't actively using it

  • Someone watches these and will answer or raise relevant questions by voice.

  • Don't get overloaded! The point is you can read later.

  • Don't include names or identifies in HackMD: it is public.

Icebreaker: Please answer the icebreaker question in HackMD

Zoom

  • Rename yourself to include your "Breakout room number", e.g. "(13) Richard Darst".

    • Helpers are "(13,H) Richard Darst"

  • You rename yourself from the participants list:

  • Zoom "Dual monitor mode" may be useful (it makes a separate window for the screen share, you can hide pictures if you want)

Where do you focus?

There is so much information! What should we look?

  • Screenshare and lecture
  • Your own type-along
  • HackMD (all important links should be pasted here)
    • Only look at the bottom.
    • Come back and read detailed answers later, not during.
  • Lesson webpage (as needed, direct links in HackMD)

Screen arrangement

Arranging your screen is surprisingly difficult!

  • We share a vertical window, so half of the screen is for us, and half is for demos.
  • Zoom "Dual monitor mode" (in the settings) gives you two windows which might be useful.

Care for the community

This is a live production, not curated

  • The "schedule" is more of a goal than a schedule
  • We adjust to what each particular audience wants
  • Every workshop is unique and we try to make it exciting.

Instructors and helpers aren't perfect

  • No one knows everything.
  • Seeing things go wrong and get fixed is part of the pedagogy.
  • Please be nice to those who make this course possible.

Be respectful and helpful

It is actually hard to teach and mentor for tech like this. We need everyone to take part in this process.

We leave you with four pieces of advice for now:

  • Everyone here is at different levels, and that's expected. Everyone will be learning different things, and everyone will focus on different topics. Passive learning is OK.
  • Everyone here is both a teacher and a learner. Be careful that your help is at the right level, considering the above.
  • Take time to check in. For example, ask "how's it going? is everyone getting what they need?", in breakout rooms.
  • When something isn't going right, speak (or HackMD) up quickly. We want to help, even if the answer is "let's discuss later".

Code of Conduct

In the worst case, there may be problem with someone. In that case, we follow our Code of Conduct. We expect that the above points prevent things from getting to here.

Final notes

Privacy

  • We stream (twitch.tv) and record the workshop.
  • Leave your video off in the main room (but we should not capture it anyway)
    • We may mute you/turn off your video for you
    • Then you can't turn it on yourself, write breakout room number in HackMD and someone will come help.
  • Your voice in the main room may be recorded and posted to YouTube
  • Breakout rooms are completely private
  • HackMD content will be posted on the course page, without names.
  • All outputs are CC-BY.
