Abstract
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Delft University of Technology in the
Netherlands (TU Delft) stopped its activities on campus until autumn 2021
and moved all teaching activities to an online setting. This article describes
the challenges and lessons learned from successfully moving basic
programming workshops, Software Carpentry workshops, online. The article
details the local TU Delft context, the online workshop tools that were
employed, and the roles that the organising team played to organise and
run these online workshops. To successfully adapt to the online context, it
was important to adjust the original planning and programme for the
Carpentry workshops. General challenges of online workshops and solutions that worked for the TU Delft team are also shared. Through iteratively
developing the online workshops over the past year, the team has
enhanced both learners’ and organisers’ experience. The lessons learned
will continue to be valuable when the workshops are transitioned back to a
physical setting when COVID-19 protective measures are lifted.
