*All* are welcome, developers and authors, experienced and novice. There is no
agenda and no schedule. Come late, leave early, drop-in, drop-out. If you are
present, then you are implicitly available to help someone with questions, even
if you are working on something yourself. The rest of us may lurk and/or join
in. We will use break-out rooms if a subgroup wants to use screen-sharing, run
a discussion, work on a targeted project, or help somebody get started
one-on-one. The model is the hotel lobby after dinner at a workshop, but you
provide your own contraband.




I also want to remind you that Barb Ericson and I will be running a workshop this week.  Each afternoon at 3:00 Easternl we’ll meet for about 90 minutes to cover various aspects of Runestone Academy.  You are welcome to join for one or all.


Monday July 14th, 3:00pm - Getting started with Runestone: introduction, history, ebooks, and interactive features.  Also, how Dr. Ericson uses an ebook in her intermediate Python programming course.


Tuesday July 15th, 3:00pm - Instructor interface: creating a custom book for your students, enrolling students, creating assignments: browsing for existing questions in chapters, searching for questions, and writing your own questions.  


Wednesday July 16, 3:00pm - Instructor interface continued: creating a timed exam, resetting a student's exam, grading assignments, using LTI, downloading the gradebook, downloading log files, and help and support


Thursday July 17th, 3:00pm - Peer Instruction: experience it, the instructor interface, best practices, review page, how to find existing PI questions, how to author new PI questions
