Competence building, the CodeRefinery way

.left-column60[ We teach all the .emph[essential tools] which are usually skipped in academic education so everyone can make full use of .emph[software, computing, and data] with focus on reusability, reproducibility, and openness.

We don't just give courses, but we are a .emph[training network] that you can join to share the effort and bring better courses to your community. ]

How we teach: together

.left-column80[

  • Co-teaching: Pilot and co-pilot

  • Live-streamed and recorded

  • Emphasis on high quality screen-share and audio

  • Offer multiple paths for learners to choose

  • Q&A are written, anonymous, and published

  • Collect feedback during and after events

  • All our material and output is open source

  • Scale with "bring your own classroom" ]

.right-column20[ Two instructors co-teach together on stream ]

Results from post-workshop survey 2024

  • Sent out to workshop participants from 2022 and 2023
  • 129 answers

Plot estimating time saving

Plot about whether code is more reusable

Plot about whether collaboration is easier

Plot about whether colleagues have been introduced

How likely are you to recommend?

Competence building for staff (1/3)

  • Teaching isn't a lecture anymore. It's more .emph[like a live TV production], which can be as interactive as people in a room.

  • .emph[Co-teaching] is a great way to onboard, get better quality, and reduce stress.

  • We need to exchange best practices in .emph[installation instructions] and on-boarding.

  • There is a case for .emph[self-paced learning using short videos] (e.g. MOOCs). We all need collaboration and training in these tools.

Competence building for staff (2/3)

  • .emph[FAIR practices] also for training material.

  • For technical topics, the lone lecturer with their own private PowerPoint/PDF slide deck might be a thing of the past.

  • Collaboration requires .emph[communication and coordination]. We need to normalize communication as part of work.

  • We all need .emph[training in how to train] and how to mentor.

Competence building for staff (3/3)

  • .emph[AI] will bring new users to the door of HPC. We need to be ready to welcome and support them.

  • Give staff the .emph[freedom to experiment] with the tools they are expected to teach.

  • .emph[Exchange programs] for staff to learn from other institutions.

In some courses you rent a good environment for 2 days but we want you to own the result and be able to share it.
