Hi Steven,
The email subject reads "disc...@lists.carpentries.org", but the body reads
"dis...@lists.carpentries.org". I'm 90% sure the two-S discuss is the one.

Hi Abhijit,
I was recently at the SIGCSE conference in Baltimore. There was a github panel
of faculty using github in teaching. One of the presenters was a statistical
sciences prof from Duke, Dr. Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel. She said the RStudio
interface was ideal for her mostly non-programming sta
Hi Olav,
In my opinion, the iPads are the significant limitation in terms of teaching
Python, particularly without keyboards. iPads work well with block-based coding
because typing is mostly replaced with drag-and-drop.
Would your audience be open to block-based coding, such as Scratch, code.or
Hello,
I recall a discussion a little while ago about Comic Sans being easier to read
for people with dyslexia. I came across this article on the BBC about a new
font that has been shown to have improved readability.

Thanks everyone for the discussion on this very important topic. I think we
should move this discussion off-list, but I'm not sure where to move it.
We've had "Best practices" blog posts and papers in the past, I think that a
blog post summary would be a great conclusion.

Hi Nick,
I think it's an excellent idea. It's a great way to connect with the shell
lesson which is typically taught before Python. I find many learners see the
shell as a bit of separate world from the GUI tools and making that connection
can help break the shell vs GUI dichotomy.
Do you ty

Hi Titus,
It took a quick peek at the videos. Two things:
1) It seems the camera is not really utilized, I believe it watches the
audience? Does it watch the speaker too? I think it is beneficial to
have a fly-on-the-wall view, but I wonder how it could be better
executed to capture discussi

Hi Bennet,
I would agree that indeterminacy of workshops exists because SWC has
learned that not all lessons fit all disciplines or experience levels. A quick
example is that version control is a tough concept unless learners have
done at least some coding and have either lost a lot of work or br

Jason,
I think the primary point would be to have a log of the commands run both for a
historical record to revisit and so that learners could copy-and-paste the
commands from the etherpad.
