Hi, 

I usually teach R data carpentry workshops and often we find exercises a bit 
clunky indeed. 

What we usually did was just go on the course page and zoom-in on the relevant 
exercise (e.g. 
https://datacarpentry.org/R-ecology-lesson/03-dplyr.html#challenge). But as you 
zoom-in more the top panels take over the page, which is really not ideal. 

Another solution we came up with was to just screenshot the exercise bit and 
then just pull out the PNG of the exercise screenshot to show students. That 
works alright, but you need to remember to do these screenshots beforehand.

In a more recent workshop I've started compiling some exercises on a separate 
document: 
https://rawgit.com/tavareshugo/data_carpentry_extras/master/slides_with_exercises/exercises.html

I've only tested this once, but it worked quite well, and I think something 
along those lines would be a nice additional resource for trainers.
