workshops's Introduction

forwards

The forwards package provides anonymized data from surveys conducted by Forwards, the R Foundation taskforce on women and other under-represented groups.

Installation

You can install forwards from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("forwards/forwards")

Usage

The package currently contains a single dataset, useR2016, with anonymized results from a survey of participants at the useR! 2016 conference. The questions and form of responses are described in the help file (?useR2016).

The dataset is lazy loaded, so after loading the forwards package, the useR2016 data frame is available for use. For example the following code cross-tabulates respondents’ age and length of time using R:

library(forwards)
xtabs(~ Q3 + Q11, data = useR2016)
#>              Q11
#> Q3            < 2 years 2-5 years 5-10 years > 10 years
#>   > 35               22        27         54         92
#>   35 or under        45        80         72         20

workshops's Issues

Standardize workshop pre/post surveys

We did this for the Chicago workshop, and it helped us get a sense of how effective the workshop was. It would be good to include a standard set of questions in here (or perhaps the surveys folder) so that others could design these surveys.

draft of learning objectives added for Package documentation workshop (workshop 4)

workshops/package-dev-modules/overview.md
Hi @mine-cetinkaya-rundel I tried drafting some LO for the 4th workshop but please do alter or edit as you think best. Be good to get the event on eventbrite this week

Git command is incorrect for Windows

https://forwards.github.io/workshops/package-dev-modules/slides/02-setting-up-system/setting-up-system.html#36

Refers to which git but for Windows should it be where git?

Standardize certificate creation process

I believe @emdodwell did this for NYC, we should make it easy for folks to do so for any workshops they organize themselves (possibly include it in an organizing workshops guide)

Add LICENCE file

We have licencing information on the slides, but could be good to add a LICENCE file to the repo, or information in the README, so people know how they can reuse the materials.

Include guide for organizing a workshop

Putting together a workshop not only requires teaching it, but also getting the logistics figured out (accepting applicants, ordering food, etc). It would be useful to standardize this as well, possibly in a guide of some sort.

Make sure slides are up-to-date with new usethis workflow

The R Packages book got a major overhaul, and so did the usethis package - this requires a similar update to our curriculum, to make sure we're teaching people up-to-date processes (certain things in the slides are now defunct)

See the "The Whole Game" workflow in R Packages: https://r-pkgs.org/whole-game.html

I want to teach a Forwards workshop - where to start?

Are there any materials for onboarding new instructors of Forwards workshops? I would love to teach one in Chicago. For now, I was just thinking of using some of the materials and walking through that. Is there a system set up to onboard teachers?

Break out workshops into smaller chunks

Beyond the one-day format, we should break up workshops such that individual modules can be covered in 45 minute - 1.5 hour segments (i.e. the length of a Meetup), over multiple sessions. I think this would provide useful teaching "modules" for teaching, as well as allow individuals to teach over several weeks/months.
