GTN - Instructor community - first meeting
by Bérénice Batut 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Hi all, We would like to start a group of instructors that would be interested into supporting other instructors. One of the goal of such group could to be to discuss and collect best pedagogical and technical recommendations for Galaxy training workshops and start a handbook for training with Galaxy. Another goal could be to start regular discussion meetings in which one or two experienced instructors could help and give advices to less experienced instructors (a bit on the same idea as the Instructor Discussion Sessions of the Carpentries). If you are interested to participate to such group, feel free to join one of 2 planned meetings (to fit different time zones and constraints, but similar discussions): September 27, 3pm (UTC+2) Timing for your time zone <http://arewemeetingyet.com/Berlin/2018-09-27/15:00/GTN%20-%20Instructor%20c…> Hangout <https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/calendar/Z2FsYXh5dW5pZnJlaWJ1cmdAZ21…> Google event <https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NmNkM2Q1azZmaWhtaWQ…> October 5, 11am (UTC+2) Timing for your time zone <http://arewemeetingyet.com/Berlin/2018-10-05/11:00/GTN%20-%20Instructor%20c…> Hangout <https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/calendar/Z2FsYXh5dW5pZnJlaWJ1cmdAZ21…> Google Event <https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NG9tamJqYmd0Y2JuYmY…> We will also take notes during the meeting and send the notes afterwards. I hope to see some of you there, Best, Bérénice Batut ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Post-doc in Bioinformatics ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://bebatut.fr
