Teaching, Training and Workshoping with Jupyter Notebooks

Before you start

• Is it a course, workshop or for a colleague down the road?
  • local vs. cloud
  • singe vs. multi-tenant
  • persistent
• Audience - how much code should I have?
• Will this be a presentation as well?

Designing interesting notebooks

• Motivation - quick exercise ("teaser code") with engaging plot
• Embed images often
• Exercises - often and small
• Bonus exercises

Tips: beyond notebooks

• Pre and post surveys
• Sticky notes

Additional thoughts

• Think about code cells and markdown cells as if they would be a slide in a presentation
