GCC2016 Topic Nomination: Galactically Speaking: Best Practices and Resources for Galaxy Training
Hi All,
In the wake of the Carpentry TTT workshop not being scheduled for GCC2016, Mo Heydarian (CC'd here) suggested that perhaps we have a much lighter-weight session during GCC2016 training that covers best practices and resources for training with Galaxy. Mo and I scrambled our brains together and came up with this nomination:
We would love to have feedback on this proposal, both specific and big picture. The text of the nomination can easily be updated any time between now and next Monday, when voting opens.
This is an opportunity to gather best practices into a single place, and would be a friendly place to bring new trainers into the fold.
Also, please let me know if you'd be interested in helping teach this.
Thanks, and many thanks to Mo for making this happen,
Dave C
Das ist wunderbar!

I like it the GTN should participate actively. I consider this as first "Train the Trainer" event, which is awesome!

Dave, if you schedule is well enough, I will join ;)

Hi Dave
I can only repeat what Bjoern already said:

Hi all,
The votes have been compiled and in a pleasant surprise, this topic received more votes than any other topic.
This puts me in a conundrum and I'm looking for feedback on how to resolve it. We usually offer the most popular topics twice. Splitting up popular topics makes presenting them more tractable, and attending them more rewarding. However, this workshop is cast as a discussion, not a hands-on workshop and therefore the considerations are different.
*Q: Should we offer this workshop twice, both times with the same content.*
*Yes*
- Smaller groups make for better and more interactive discussions - More people will be able to attend if it is offered twice. - We can use what we learn in the first session to improve the second session.
*No*
- Only half the participants will participate in each discussion. This will especially impact those attending the first session and they won't get benefit from the experience of those attending the second workshop.
Right now *I'm leaning towards one big session* (not sure which day - haven't got that far yet). I figure instructors are not a timid bunch and that we'll get lots of discussion despite the large group size.
Your thoughts are welcome,
Dave C

Good news!
I wonder if Galaxy training will one year become a track of its own.
*Galaxy-flavored training is specific.* If the goal is to share resources, I could see the following being things we could share with eachother: Training in conferences (workshops), other training-specific sessions/workshops, use in education (lecture or training platform, event vs course material), professional skill development (academic/industry), and the like.
*Topics could include (combine some or not)*
best practices logistical requirements (compute, venue) training resources (materials creation/sharing) tutorial resources (materials creation/sharing) organizing and promoting training resources in the wild (for trainer and USERS) organizing and promoting workshops
or examples of any, a "How we do this" by GTN members or others in training community
Some ideas!

Hi Dave
I am in favor of just one, big workshop as well. And I suggest this to run as a special 'event' when no other training session is running, e.g. on the evening of the first training day.
Although, this topic got the most votes, the session will be most interesting for the trainers, and it would be a pity if not all 'trainers' could participate, since they are giving another session at the same time.

Hi Hans-Rudolf, all,
Thanks for feedback on 1 versus 2.
Hmmm. I kinda like this idea. I think space is available on Sunday night, and the only conflicting event would be the hackathon(s) dinner and possibly some BoFs - although most of those will be Tuesday and Wednesday.
It would make for a long day though. Training ends at 6:30. Dinner options are available close by (see the just created http://bit.ly/gcc2016map) so we could probably start at 7:45 and run until we are out of steam. It's also a concern that those doing training on Monday are planning to use Sunday night for prep.*
Another option is Monday night, but there may be (our first ever) opening reception that night.
Let me take a look at options.
If anyone else has opinions on this (or 1 vs 2), please post here.
Thanks,
Dave C
* Not that any of *us* would wait until the night before to prepare training materials. ;-)
