I've done this for several classes online as we base our intro to git closely off the git-novice. These are small classes so we just assign pairs and let them get on with it in the same way. Demo first and then let them work it through. Homework assignment is to update their 'profile' on the shared group repository.
As ever, the Software Carpentry materials make a great starting point but if you stick slavishly to them then perhaps you are not reading your learners right. (I work mostly with undergrads, so different to the postgrad/professionals that the courses seem to be mostly aimed at) ..d -----Original Message----- From: Inigo Aldazabal Mensa <inigo.aldazab...@ehu.eus> Sent: 10 March 2021 17:35 To: discuss <discuss@lists.carpentries.org> Subject: [cp-discuss] Advices on instructing Git lesson online CAUTION: This email originated from outside the University of Dundee.

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? You don't work in pairs and just demo this part? Do you pair your learners somehow? Any tips or ideas will be very welcome.
