June 18-June 25, 2017.
Instructors: Lex Nederbragt, Karen Word, and C. Titus Brown
This workshop is intended for people interested in teaching, reusing and repurposing the Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, or Analyzing Next-Generation Sequencing Data materials. We envision this course being most useful to current teaching-intensive faculty, future teachers and trainers, and core facilities that are developing training materials.
Attendees will learn about and gain practice implementing evidence-based teaching practices. Common pitfalls specific to novice-level instruction and bioinformatics in particular will be discussed, along with associated troubleshooting strategies. Content used in prior ANGUS workshops will be used for all practice instruction, and experienced instructors will be on hand to address questions about implementation.
Attendees of this workshop may opt to remain at the following ANGUS two-week workshops so that they can gain hands-on experience in preparing and teaching a lesson.
This week-long training will also serve as Software/Data Carpentry Instructor Training.
Attendees should have some strong familiarity with biology and basic experience with the command line.
Applications will close March 17th.
The course fee will be $350 for this workshop. On campus housing may not be available for this workshop, but if it is, room and board will be approximately $500/wk additional (see venue information). (Alternatives will include local hotels and AirBNBs.)
