### Time reporting
- HT2023: 661 h were reported
- see [effort_sheet_ht2023.xlsx](https://uppsalauniversitet.sharepoint.com/:x:/r/sites/UPPMAXstaff/Delade%20dokument/Training/effort_sheet_ht2023.xlsx?d=wc1cd8c51ac0c4637880e4743ac48fc3e&csf=1&web=1&e=EaGsOy)
- we might need to do this again
- how should we gather input?
- Let's have fixed "price" per course per hour for teaching, helping, developing instead of time tracking (Pavlin)

### Course/workshop pages in SiteVision
- one webpage per course or course instance?
- if per instance it may be easier to keep track of teachers/helpers, feedback(?), course material
- keep one page per course
- add one page in Site vision for history for user info
- info for phd students for instance
- list of dates and links to material
- Ex:
- Intro course
- feb XX-XX 2023 (link to material)
- aug XX-XX 23
- internal pages on HackMD/Github for us
- (course, teachers, helpers, version??? of the material)

### Future courses: when and in which format?
Points to consider:
- Rackham decommissioned end of 2024, leaving us with mostly [inexperienced?] UU users
- split the UPPMAX intro course into several and make it cluster-agnostic?
- rephrase course
- towards cluster-agnostic
- prepare users to multi-cluster environ
- 1st day uppmax-centred
- explicitly what is covered
- naming:
- Intro to Linux (3 days)
- Intro to UPPMAX (3 days)
- Windows users 1-2 hrs (???)
- prereqs in written format
- catch up zoom-in before?
- Bio4Dardel: should/could we run a course for targeted Dardel users?
- course for Win user (ssh, clients for login/file transfer)
- Slurm for all clusters

### Course feedback
- feedback from the UPPMAX course: [doc on Sharepoint](https://uppsalauniversitet.sharepoint.com/:b:/r/sites/UPPMAXstaff/Delade%20dokument/Training/Course%20Evaluation%20UPPMAX%20Intro%20January%202024.pdf?csf=1&web=1&e=Yjzxsp)
- change the strategy for asking for feedback? Pros and cons?
