Introduction
|
Discussions focus on how the concepts and resources introduced each week can be applied to the design and development of lessons.
The roles of Discussion Lead and Notetaker rotate between group participants each week.
The Discussion Lead is responsible for keeping discussion moving and on topic, and ensuring every participant can contribute equally.
The Notetaker is responsible for recording the key points of the discussion and uploading these to GitHub after the session.

Welcome

The Lesson Development Study Groups program combines reading, discussion, and practical lesson development tasks.
Participants are expected to do the reading, to perform assigned roles and contribute actively to discussions, and to complete homework tasks between sessions.
Carpentries lessons consist of a collection of episodes and supporting material.
Multiple lessons can form a Lesson Program, such as Software or Library Carpentry, or a curriculum, such as Data Carpentry Ecology.

Lesson Infrastructure
|
The Carpentries lessons use a shared lesson template to provide aesthetic and structural consistency across all lessons.
Lesson pages are written with Markdown and/or RMarkdown, built with Jekyll, and served via GitHub Pages.
The global configuration of a lesson site is set in the _config.yml file.
Supporting files are stored both in _extras/ and the root of directory of the repository.
