I should add, if we want to use sticky notes we need to ask Laura and Allison to provide these or take a trip to Staples/Office Depot on Monday.
I'm up for trying this--the last bullet point--but we should talk more about how it would work.
My feeling on dynamic feedback and course corrections is that I want it to be a dialogue, to make sure I am getting it right. Sticky notes are short and not a dialogue, so my first inclination upon receiving one that says "you should do X" would be to ask for clarification to make sure I was understanding. So I'm not sure. Let's talk about it.
What is this for? Make sure that folks know this is not the only way to give feedback and ask questions. Extra topics to cover?
Doesn't replace asking questions during the lecture!
via the CIRCA folks at St Andrews this SC thread talks about replacements for Mozilla's etherpad. This seems like the obvious candidate.
I've tried to cover this a little in https://github.com/DistanceDevelopment/spatial-workshops/blob/master/slides/1-welcome-landscape.pdf as of cda159b. We can flesh this out while we're talking too.
Looks good.
It would be useful for folks to be able to give feedback during the sessions.
From Software Carpentry:
Feedback, or "What Are the Sticky Notes For?"
At the very end of the workshop, the host or lead instructor can ask learners to give one good point or one bad one about the entire workshop. This can be done on the sticky notes, the Etherpad, or through a Google form. (This feedback will also be sent to Software Carpentry admin.)
More info on this in practice.
Though I don't think we necessarily want to adopt the first point (as I don't think we have enough instructors to wander around and do this) I think the last point is a great idea. Doing this either via sticky notes or Etherpad seems like a useful idea. Stick notes are low-tech and don't require everyone to have a laptop or tablet, so I'm inclined to do that.
