Live streaming your live coding to static webpages for audience joy and pedagogical profit (EN)

Naomi Alterman, Data Science Fellow and Technical Education Specialist at the University of Washington's eScience Institute

In this lightning talk I'll introduce the set of scripts I built which automatically upload my live coding sessions to my university webspace as static HTML pages. These scripts are cross-platform, work with most coding environments, and need minimal server-side support. Student response has been strongly positive, as they can use these pages as an up-to-date reference throughout the lesson. This method also opens the door to allow accessibility devices to follow the written content on the instructor's screen as it updates.
