I delivered a pre-conference Rosaceae workshop was given to scientists attending the conference (http://www.rgc3.co.nz/index/page/4). It involved a hands on session where people had to interactively using computers to do computational tasks in the R programming language. What made this workshop interesting was that I delivered it using a MediaWiki installation I had on a local area netwrk server. I chose this approach as I noticed other presenters using powerpoint and then having trouble with interactive session parts involving computer work. By using a wiki all the relevant information was delivered over the web to everyones individual machine, and the dynamic content had history and change control. By using the printable version link I could use browser rendering to infinately scale text information for projector delivery, and make an electronic pdf attendees. During the delivery I found a typo in one of the scripts, this was easily fixed in the wiki, and with a refresh delivered to everyones machine. more... --Sven 21:02, 17 Mar 2006 (NZDT) |
