Having presented a few workshops, both training people in basic mediaWiki usage and for technical statistical workshops I have found a number of points important. If possible use a computer suite so every person is behind a PC with web access to the tutorial, this also reduces issues since all machines are the same and should have internet connectivity. I prefer to run the entire presentation in mediaWiki, [[Extension:CSS]] allows a wikipoint style presentation to be delivered, where any potential issues are easily fixed on the fly since it is a wiki. Any problems for attendies to do should be the same common problem so as to minimise the presenters workload. Since users contributions are logged it is straight forward to monitor progress as homework if necessary. Any integration of workshop material with other applications such as programming languages should be done so that text commands can be seemlessly copied across, the concepts are what is important not the syntax detail of commands which so often looses people. --[[User:Sven|Sven]] 21:02, 12 January 2009 (NZDT)
