" - Acknowledge the contribution of the Research Software & Analytics Team and community of researchers who deliver this training. \n",
" - Share the Code of Conduct and note that attendance is an agreement to adhere by this. \n",
"- Deliver the course materials using a methodology appropriate to the learning objectives. For novices, this is predominately by live coding. \n",
"- **Encourage and Monitor Engagement (for online delivery):** \n",
" - Make use of interactive tools such as [**Menti**](https://www.mentimeter.com/) (or similar polling/feedback platforms) to gather input and stimulate discussion. Clearly explain how participants can join (e.g. providing the code or link in chat). \n",
" - Use the **chat box** actively to respond to questions, highlight useful contributions, and encourage reflection. \n",
" - Where appropriate, use **private messages** to discreetly support individuals who may need extra help. Private messages can also be used to arrange short **1:1 calls** during the session (or in a break) to help participants who may have fallen behind get back on track. \n",
" - Encourage contributions by reassuring participants that all inputs are welcome, acknowledging responses, and highlighting how feedback will be used to shape the discussion. \n",
"- Be flexible with timing, by extending or shortening activities as needed to match the group’s pace and engagement.\n",
"- Prioritise Quality Over Quantity: It is better to cover fewer topics and ensure participants achieve a meaningful understanding, rather than rushing to touch on everything. If the group is especially engaged with an exercise, allow more time and feel free to skip or condense other activities.\n",
"- Monitor Participant Engagement: Actively observe the group’s energy and participation. Use breaks strategically and encourage open discussions, group work, or partner activities to foster engagement and peer learning.\n",
