Researchers, educators and journalists #6

Open betatim opened 6 years ago

betatim commented 6 years ago

In the original proposal I wrote that the target audience is not just researchers but also journalists and educators. Basically anyone who might want to produce a demo, book, article, ... that would benefit from using Binder.

What do people think about trying to invite people from each of these groups to each of the events vs having one event per "type" of person. I am a big fan of mixing at each event. Starting to worry though that this might not work so well because the ideas/needs of each group are so different?

This is connected to #5 (writing personas).

I think a general introduction would be suitable for a diverse audience but each of those groups have different needs, so it might make sense to split them up at some stage and focus on their particular objectives. Not sure that makes sense, though.

So maybe first half of the day together, then split up into smaller groups depending on what interests each person.

What do you mean with "different needs"?

RaoOfPhysics commented 6 years ago

Educators might be interested in pedagogic tools while journalists might prefer telling longer narratives with dashboard-like tools and researchers might need something completely different. I'm not saying the tools will necessarily be different but how they (intend to) use them might be.

+1 for splitting into smaller groups after general intro.
