Proposing separate workbook repo #31

Closed gforsyth closed 10 years ago

gforsyth commented 10 years ago

Now that our Wakari instance is up, we should be thinking about workflow for the students.

They can follow along with the nbviewer rendered lessons, but they'll need to clone something into their wakari accounts in order to load the data files for lessons 1 and 2.

Or, alternatively, we can change the loadtxt paths to reflect their location on github.

But, given the issues raised in #24 anyway, how about separate workbooks that accompany each lesson? We set this up as a separate repo, "JIT-code-MechE-Workbook" or whatever, and it contains all of the data files (in the same path as in this repo) plus notebooks that need to be "completed" as a way of measuring performance.

I think that's a good idea, but will it be any easier than just having them clone this repo?

gforsyth commented 10 years ago

I don't know that it'll be any easier but it seems cleaner to me. Also, if we're ostensibly ending up with 3 - 4 modules here, it might be simpler to have them only clone the workbook for the module they're actually taking. I'm not sure about what kind of tech literacy we should expecting, but while we're already throwing a few new things at them, it might help if there weren't "unrelated" folders in their wakari accounts.
