CarpentryCon @ Home: Making a Case for Carpentries Membership to your Institution
Channel: The Carpentries
Date: 2020-08-20

In 2019 the University of Toronto Libraries received funding from the Chief Librarian Innovation Grant to facilitate training of Carpentries instructors across the University of Toronto. Over the past year we have hosted an in-person instructor training session with 24 researchers, staff and students taking part, many of whom then became instructors for one of the 3 workshops from all 3 carpentries areas.

This panel includes perspectives from the folks who wrote the proposal, staff and student views on instructor training, and organizers of the carpentries workshops. We'll share what was valuable, challenging, and unexpected about the membership, and we'll open the session up in advance if the community would like to submit questions for the panelists.
