Hi,
Mike Jackson here developed a set of scripts that capture the
history of your bash screen and publishes it on a web site so that
students/helpers have a chance to see what they missed while resolving
a problem and now has scrolled off the screen. It's not ideal but it
does provide students with a chance of recapping what they missed. I
have not used the scripts but it is something to consider.
You can do what you do and give even more detail or more anecdotes or
take more pauses, making sure that there are no red postit notes
flagging issues. Whatever strategy one takes it's going to annoy
someone so I am not sure there is a single answer to your question.

Hi to all,
I just taught a SWC workshop for intermediates. As usual, a considerable
portion of the audience would have been better off attending a novice course
first. This time the ratio was quite high though: 30-40% out of 25 IIRC.
My question is simple, how do other instructors deal with this situation? We
had 2-3 helpers that jumped in and stood at the side of those completely
lost. But me, the instructor, I need to adapt accordingly ... I simply took
many detours and tried to explain more what I was doing ... which might have
lead to more confusion than it should have.
What method do you guys use here?
Best,
Peter
