## Feedback from Zulip and Zoom during Sep 2023 WS

- learners could register to a workshop by "watching" a repo
- all communication could be just issues and PRs
- they could get access to the notes document by solving a simple task; the task would be a sort of CAPTCHA and also make sure they are able to push to github
- there would be more puzzles and more group work
- learning would be a bit of a side-effect of having more fun and building something
- (if it all wasn't a completely github-centric thing to do)
- 1st week could be:
- day 1: collaboration in own groups' projects
- day 2: collaboration in own project
- day 3: collaboration in big projects

## Other suggestions
- Have workshop facilitator (a guy that facilitates discussion on stream): https://enccs.github.io/instructor-training/teaching-mechanics/#workshop-host-and-facilitator
- WSaaS (Workshop as a Service)
- What would this mean?
- Carpentries-style decentralised lessons
- Stream only + Local Organisations
- Regular (1/month?) shorter events
- Academic course on our ws topics, reproducability etc
- Sold to universities
- https://hands-on.coderefinery.org
- “weekly” sessions and when a student has enough attendances they get credits
- Weekly/bi-weekly stream
- content?
- monetisation possibilities?
- local courses/workshops

## Options on workshop arrangement

### Only 1 week?

This great [feedback](https://coderefinery.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/316508-tools-workshop/topic/feedback/near/395536339) reminded that the second week is a bit more confusing with more diverse topics etc.

**Next time (Q1/2024):** We could have the next workshop only 1 week.
- focus on git as it is now

#### Which topics on the second week would be immediately useful to participants working on week 1 stuff?
- Jupyter: another working environment / git client
- We could highlight some git clients and let people choose between CLI/GitHub/preferred client

#### Whaddabout the second week lessons?
The second week lessons might be more suitable for

- short pre-recorded videos or video serieses
- 1-2h separate webinars
- Bring-your-own-code sessions
- *add more..*

depending on the topic.

5. **Certification:** Earn a CodeRefinery certificate upon successful completion of the course.

**Course Resources:**

- Video lectures and tutorials
- Course materials, including slide decks and code examples
- Interactive quizzes and assignments
- Discussion forums for peer interaction and support
- Additional reading materials and resources
- Access to CodeRefinery tools and resources

**Course Duration:**
The course is self-paced, allowing learners to complete it at their own speed. However, it is recommended to complete one module per week, with an estimated total duration of 8-12 weeks.

**Instructors:**
Experienced CodeRefinery trainers and experts in reproducible research and version control.

**Course Prerequisites:**
Basic knowledge of programming and a computer with internet access. No prior experience with Git or CodeRefinery is required.

**Course Fee:**
The course is free to enroll, making it accessible to a wide audience.

**Course Evaluation:**
Participants will be evaluated based on their performance in quizzes, assignments, and the final project.

**Certification:**
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a CodeRefinery certificate, recognizing their proficiency in reproducible research and version control.

**Continuous Support:**
Participants will have access to course materials and resources even after completing the course to support their ongoing learning and projects.

By adapting the CodeRefinery workshop content into a MOOC course, you can reach a broader audience and provide them with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in reproducible research and version control.
